Job description

Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a superb opportunity for a trustworthy and independently thinking Housekeeper to support a relaxed family based in Parmoor, a peaceful rural area near Henley‑on‑Thames in Buckinghamshire. Known for its picturesque countryside, elegant estates, and tranquil lifestyle, Parmoor offers an inviting working environment, ideal for candidates who enjoy a calm and structured setting.

The principals, who have a newly renovated four‑bedroom home, visit mainly during the summer months and on weekends. They also have a gentle 16‑year‑old small dog requiring occasional care. Given the rural nature of the area, a driving licence and personal vehicle are essential.

Working as a professional Housekeeper in a private family home involves ensuring that the property is maintained to an exceptional standard at all times. This position requires a flexible and proactive individual who can work independently, manage household tasks confidently, and support the smooth running of the home.
