Job description

Live‑Out Housekeeper Cook – Ringwood, Hampshire

PHS Job 3259, Permanent rustig Full‑Time Live‑Out Housekeeper Cook in Ringwood, Hampshire. Salary: negotiable, depending on qualifications.

Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a superb opportunity for a professional, trustworthy, and experienced Housekeeper Cook to support a friendly family of four residing in a spacious seven‑bedroom modern property in Ringwood, Hampshire. The family has two children aged 12 and 16 and is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, demonstrated by the fact that their previous housekeeper remained with them for 15 years. Ringwood is a charming market town on the edge of the New Forest, offering a pleasant balance of countryside living with excellent local amenities, making it an appealing location for a long‑term position. The family values home‑style cooking, reliability, and a proactive approach to household management.

Working as a Housekeeper Cook in this household offers a varied and rewarding role combining high standards of housekeeping with family‑focused cooking. The property is well‑equipped with modern cleaning appliances and includes a swimming pool, home cinema, gym, office, and a mix of wooden floors, tiling, and carpets. The role requires maintaining the home to an excellent standard, providing nutritious and enjoyable meals for the family, and offering practical support with daily routines. This position would suit a professional Housekeeper Cook who enjoys a busy, well‑organised household and takes pride in both domestic care and cooking.

This is a live‑out position based in the countryside, therefore a valid driving licence is essential. The successful Housekeeper Cook must be confident driving for school drop‑offs and pick‑ups, grocery shopping, and general errands. The principals can provide a car with automatic transmission, although the use of a personal vehicle is also acceptable. While the role is currently live‑out, the family is in the process of building a separate cottage on the property, which may offer a live‑in option in the future should the Housekeeper Cook prefer this arrangement.

Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
