SALARY: £20 – £25 GROSS PER HOUR
PHS JOB 2978
Perfect Household Staff is proud to present a charming new part-time Housekeeper/Cook position based in Hertfordshire—a well-connected and desirable location surrounded by greenery, with excellent access to schools, family amenities, and beautiful countryside walks.
This is an awesome opportunity for a friendly, and flexible housekeeper/cook who is confident managing household routines independently and preparing healthy, family-style meals. The property is a spacious, contemporary family home spread over two floors with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, including a large kitchen-diner.
The family consists of two working parents and their two children (aged nearly 4 and 6), both of whom will be at nursery or school during working hours. This is an informal and welcoming household, and the clients are looking for someone who will not only keep things running smoothly but will genuinely fit in and become a trusted and appreciated presence in the home.
The position requires housekeeping, light cooking, and occasional household admin, such as booking children's activities or coordinating with tradespeople. A successful candidate will be child-friendly, practical, efficient, and enjoy working with minimal supervision.
Our agency has been connecting professional domestic staff with families across the UK for over a decade. We pride ourselves on offering tailored placements with reputable families in excellent locations. If you are seeking a rewarding housekeeper/cook role in Hertfordshire, we are here to help you find your next position.
