PHS Job 3345
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a wonderful opportunity for a proactive, organised, and reliable Housekeeper / Cook to join a welcoming young family based in Brentwood, Essex. The household consists of two adult principals who have recently welcomed a baby and are now seeking professional support to assist with the smooth running of their five-bedroom home. The family values a calm, well-maintained household environment and are looking for a self-motivated professional who can take initiative and confidently manage daily domestic tasks without constant supervision. Brentwood is a highly desirable area of Essex, known for its leafy residential streets, family-friendly atmosphere, and excellent transport links to London, making it a pleasant and accessible location for commuting.
This is a live-out, part-time position offered for three working days per week, totalling approximately 15 hours. The property is conveniently located within a walking distance from a Shenfield station. Working as a Housekeeper / Cook in this household requires a proactive approach, strong organisational skills, and clear communication with the principals. The successful candidate will support the upkeep of the home through regular cleaning, laundry, and ironing duties, with particular attention to baby laundry. In addition to housekeeping, the role also involves preparing fresh, comforting family dinners, including meal preparation and occasional batch cooking, as well as preparing simple snacks for the week such as home baking.
