Overview
We are seeking an experienced and reliable Housekeeper (starting mid August) with the flexibility to occasionally provide dog sitting services for our 6 rescues. The ideal candidate will possess a keen eye for detail around the home and a real pride in their work. This role offers the opportunity to work in a fun and vibrant environment with a supportive team. Experience of working in a large home is essential for this role, as is being well presented and physically fit. Being outgoing and professional, with a sunny nature is our main requirement with this position as full training will be provided by the house manager.
Due to nature of this position along with the fact that one of our rescues is nervous of men, this position is open to ladies only. We have 6 rescues of all breeds, that will occasionally need looking after, so the candidate needs to have transport and able to stay overnight when caring for the gang. You would have your own room and bathroom on these occasions. A genuine love for dogs is absolutely essential to be considered for this role.
An up to date DBS check would be advantageous.
This really is a great opportunity to become a part of a friendly and happy team, and we look forward to meeting our new member!
