PHS Job 3373
Perfect Household Staff is pleased to present a fantastic opportunity for a professional Permanent Part-Time Live-In Housekeeper/Cook to join a warm, well-established private household based in Brentwood, Essex. This is a long-term position suited to a dedicated, organised, and proactive candidate seeking stability within a respectful and friendly family environment.
The household currently consists of five family members; however, over the coming months, the household will transition to a quieter setting, with the parents remaining as the primary residents. The family is seeking a committed individual who is looking for a long-term role and can become an integral part of the household.
The property is a spacious six-bedroom home set across three floors. The successful candidate will be provided with excellent live-in accommodation within a private annex, including a separate kitchen, living area, en-suite bathroom, and a large balcony. The family is happy to offer a high degree of privacy and comfort, including the possibility of occasional guests. All the household bills are also included as well as food. Candidates with a small, well-trained dog will also be considered.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
