Days: Friday – Tuesday
Hours: Full-time
Location: Hampstead, North London
Salary: IRO £50,000 gross per annum (DOE)
Contract: Permanent
Start date: Flexible
We are looking for an experienced and super switched-on Live-out Housekeeper/Cook/Nanny for a full-time position working for a busy private family of three in Hampstead, North London.
The Housekeeper/Cook/Nanny will be contracted to work 5 days per week covering the weekends, ordinarily working Friday – Tuesday, although some weekends off can be offered. Flexibility for regular overnight babysitting will be required.
It’s essential that the candidate is happy to commit to working weekends on a permanent basis, as the family are very much looking for a long-term addition to their household who can be relied on to cover weekends. Ideally the candidate will live locally within the Hampstead area, or a very short commutable distance.
You will be carrying out general housekeeping duties including laundry and ironing, and meal preparation/cooking of healthy meals following nutritional guidelines and recipes. There is also a childcare element to the role, caring for two bright and active school-aged children, engaging them in a dynamic way and taking them to activities, so previous experience working within a household with children, as well as a willingness to partake in their care is essential.
The family are looking for a candidate who is committed, energetic and engaging, and who works well alongside other staff, but also possesses the initiative to work independently as an all-rounder. You will be able to cook to a good level and have previous experience preparing meals to a high standard. A driver would be a huge plus but not essential.
