Live-in/out Housekeeper/Cook

Buckinghamshire, Beaconsfield, Negotiable Salary

EHS #3046

Our Client, who has a beautiful weekend residence near Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire, is seeking a live-in/out Housekeeper/Cook.  This is a new position and includes weekend working over a 5 day working week.

This is a large country house within its own estate and within easy access to London.

A good team spirit is required and you must be willing to be flexible with your duties, as the family are only in residence at the weekend, although not every weekend.

You should be a confident cook of fresh, healthy meals.  The family enjoy a healthy lifestyle and eat light dishes, mainly based on a Mediterranean style of eating to include lots of fresh vegetables, salads, fish and meat.  Ideally you will feel comfortable cooking for a small informal dinner party (a Chef is available for anything large or formal).  You will care for the kitchen, have responsibility for provisioning, and household shopping.

As you will not be required to cook every day, you will need to be willing to undertake housekeeping duties, assisting the Head Housekeeper and cleaner with daily housekeeping tasks around the home.

Will be required to work in the London residence a few days every month.

Due to the location, you do need to drive and have your own car. Previous private house experience essential, as well as longevity in previous roles.

Salary: Negotiable depending if live-in or live-out.

Accommodation: Beautiful accommodation is available if you choose to live-in, but sorry no partners or pets.
