Perfect Household Staff is delighted to offer a wonderful opportunity for a professional Temporary Part-Time Live-In Housekeeper to join a welcoming private household in Brentwood, Essex. This position is offered on a temporary basis for approximately five months, commencing at the end of April.

The family environment is warm, respectful, and well-structured. The household currently consists of five members, though this will gradually reduce over the duration of the contract, resulting in a quieter working environment.

The property is a six-bedroom residence arranged across three floors. The successful candidate will benefit from excellent live-in accommodation within a private annex, complete with a separate kitchen, living room, en-suite bathroom, and a spacious balcony. All the household bills are also included as well as food. The family offers a comfortable and respectful living arrangement, with flexibility for occasional guests and openness to candidates with a small, well-trained dog.

This role involves a combination of hands-on housekeeping and light household coordination. Additional part-time cleaners are employed to support the overall upkeep of the home. The family owns two friendly Labradoodles, and basic pet care will be required. A driver is essential, and an automatic vehicle will be provided for all work-related duties.
