PART-TIME HOUSEKEEPER COOK JOB
OXFORD | OXFORDSHIRE | GB
Salary: £25 gross per hour
Job Type: Permanent, Part-Time, Live-Out, Self-employed
Job Overview:
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present an excellent opportunity for a professional Housekeeper/Cook to support a welcoming family of 2 in one of Oxford’s most desirable residential areas. The home is well-maintained, calm, and respectful, offering a pleasant working environment in the heart of a peaceful and sought-after neighbourhood.
This is a permanent, part-time, live-out position, ideally suited to an organised and skilled professional who takes pride in both high-level housekeeping and home-style cooking. The family values discretion, reliability, and attention to detail, making this a rewarding long-term role for the right candidate.
The successful applicant will divide their time between general housekeeping duties and preparing simple, healthy home-cooked meals. The family follows specific dietary preferences: no dairy products (including vegan cheese alternatives), with meals including eggs, meat, and fish. Additionally, the principal does not eat mushrooms.
The household maintains a "shoes-off" policy and values cleanliness, discretion, and cultural sensitivity. There are two cats in residence, though no animal care duties are required.

Only candidates who have the right to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
