PART-TIME HOUSEKEEPER JOB
WEST ANSTEY | DEVON | GB
Salary: £20 – £28 gross per hour
Job Type: Live-Out, Part-Time, Permanent
Job Overview:
Perfect Household Staff is proud to present an exceptional opportunity for a top-tier, part-time Housekeeper to join a highly private and refined residence in Devon, West Anstey. This permanent live-out position is ideal for a discreet, self-sufficient professional with outstanding attention to detail and proven experience working in high-value, art-filled homes.
The property includes a main house, a guest cottage, and several barns, situated on beautifully landscaped grounds. The main house, a five-bedroom loft-converted residence, is the primary living space, with three actively used bathrooms. The guest house is used occasionally for visiting friends and family.
The principals are immaculate and respectful, with a clear appreciation for precision, order, and trust.
