This is lovely job working for an informal family who use their Oxfordshire home mostly as a weekend residence. 

They are looking for a Housekeeper/House Manager  who can run the house while they are not there and be 'hands on' when they are in residence.  The house is a real country home and used very much as a place of rest and relaxation and they will very often have family and friends also staying at the weekend and there will be various dogs and children around!

Your role will be to look after the home and make sure it is well presented, cleaned, fridges stocked, principal and guest bedrooms made up with fresh linen, flowers in the sitting room, pick up family and guests at the station, and that it is a warm and welcoming place to visit.  The family bring a chef with them when they are in residence so there is very little cooking but you may be asked to help with food preparation or serving. 

It is essential that you have worked as Housekeeper in a private residence for at least 3 years with suitable references.  You will need to speak excellent English, have a 'can do' attitude and be reliable and trustworthy.

This is a five day a week job - if the family are using the house at the weekend then your days off will be during the week - however if the house is not being used then you are welcome to have the weekend free.  The job will come with a lovely apartment - it is within the house but it is totally self contained.  They are happy to pay a top salary for the right person.
