Job Overview:
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present an excellent part-time live-out Housekeeper opportunity supporting a gentleman living in a truly unique and historically significant 18th-century Scottish home. Nestled in a dramatic coastal setting and surrounded by stunning Highland scenery, the property offers a peaceful and beautiful working environment.

This warm and respectful household values professionalism, reliability, and a positive attitude. The home consists of three floors, including several active bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, charming reception rooms, and a rarely used top floor that primarily functions as organised storage. The principal lives alone with two friendly senior cats and enjoys a quiet lifestyle focused on writing and research.
The successful candidate will be a trustworthy, proactive, and experienced housekeeper able to work independently and maintain the high standards expected in a historic property. This role is ideally suited to someone who prefers a stable, long-term part-time engagement and who is comfortable managing housekeeping autonomously. While the position is typically structured as 6-10 hours per week, the principal is open to discussing two shorter days should the right candidate prefer this arrangement.
