LIVE-IN HOUSEKEEPER JOB

MARSH GREEN | KENT | UK

Salary: £20 gross per hour

Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time, Live-In

Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a wonderful live-in Housekeeper position based in a charming farmhouse in Kent. Set within a picturesque farmland and orchards, the property offers a calm and rural lifestyle. The principals are a relaxed, welcoming couple who divide their time between their country home, their work in London, and residences abroad.

The family enjoys European travel and occasionally takes their housekeeper along when staying in France. They are seeking a caring, responsible, and proactive professional to support the smooth running of their household, care for their beloved pets, and maintain the property to an impeccable standard. This is a varied and fulfilling position, blending housekeeping with light cooking, pet care, and occasional caretaking duties when the family travels. The housekeeper will be responsible for maintaining the home to a consistently high standard, organising daily routines, and ensuring the property is guest-ready.

The role requires someone flexible, self-sufficient, and animal-loving, with the confidence to manage household tasks independently and the initiative to take responsibility for the smooth operation of the home. A driving licence is essential due to the countryside location, though a car will be provided for household errands.

The family values warmth, discretion, and reliability, and they are looking for a long-term professional who will become an integral part of their home.


Perfect Household Staff has been assisting professional housekeepers secure rewarding private household roles for over 15 years. We are recognised as one of the UK’s leading boutique domestic staffing agencies. If you are looking for a professional, long-term housekeeper position in the countryside, you have come to the right place.
