Part-Time Housekeeper - FARNHAM

PART-TIME HOUSEKEEPER - FARNHAM SURREY c £20 / hour

This is a lovely opportunity for an experienced Housekeeper to regularly look after the property of a well-known individual. They rarely stay in their Farnham residence. We are therefore looking for an experienced Housekeeper who has around 4 - 6 days / month available to ensure that the House is kept in really good order during their absences and that it is well-prepared in readiness for when they come to stay.

The great thing about this part-time Housekeeper position is that you can work it around your schedule within reason, so for example if they would like you give the property a clean after they have stayed, they are happy for you to fit this around your other work schedules.

We are looking for someone who has a really good eye for detail - who can communicate very well any repairs that need attention - and who also has really good knowledge of what products to use for certain fabrics and surfaces.

This is a fantastic position for someone who lives locally to Farnham who is looking for a few extra days each month. We can't say exactly what the working schedule will be but it's usually 2-3 days, twice per month. Due to the high profile of this client we will need really good references, and you will need to have experience of working in a high value home with very little supervision.

• Steaming carpets and upholstery, hoovering, mopping floors, ensuring the correct products are used as necessary
