Job description

Live in Housekeeper/Nanny job in Andover, Wiltshire

A lovely couple with two children, aged 2 and 3, is looking to employ a proactive and energetic Housekeeper/Nanny to assist them in their stunning, recently refurbished 5-bedroom home in Andover, Wiltshire. Mum lives in the property full-time and travels to London occasionally during the week, while Dad is at home most weekends.

The family also employs a full-time live-out Nanny who works from 8 AM to 6:30 PM. The role is primarily focused on housekeeping; however, you will also be required to assist with the children in the morning before the nanny arrives. This includes giving them breakfast at 7 AM and helping them get dressed alongside Mum.

After the nanny drops the eldest child off at school, you will look after the youngest until the nanny returns. Throughout your shift, you will primarily focus on housekeeping and laundry. You will take a break between 11 AM and 3 PM, and when you return, you will continue with housekeeping duties, which may include preparing a meal for the parents. After the children have had their dinner, you will help with the bedtime routine until 7:30 PM. The nanny finishes for the day at 6:30 PM. The children go to bed at 6:46 PM & 7 PM. Additionally, you will need to be dog-friendly, as the family may consider getting a dog in the future.

Your main duties will involve:

1. All housekeeping duties
2. Laundry and ironing
3. Preparing meals mainly for the adults, mostly just dinners (the nanny cooks for the children)
4. Running errands
5. Covering the nanny when she is on annual leave or is unwell

The ideal candidate would be flexible, warm, friendly, and able to take initiative. Someone with a muck-in attitude would be ideal and someone who has a good eye for detail. It is essential that you are a driver with your own car.

Accommodation: Brand new 1 bedroom annexe separate to the main house with garden, pets welcome and partners will be considered. All bills included.

Live in: Split shift 8.5 hour day with a 4-hour break starting at 7:00 AM until 11 AM, break until 3 PM, then finish at 7:30 PM with a 12-hour day on a Saturday.

Hours: 8.5 Tuesday - Friday + Sat 12 hours, 46 hours per week.

Days: Tuesday - Saturday, Sunday & Monday off.

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000 GPA based on experience and longevity.

Start: As soon as the right person is found.

Consultant: Vicky Smith

Vacancy Number: 140233
