My Requirements

Start date - Beginning of January 27

We are looking for a reliable, friendly and well-organised Family Assistant / Nanny-Housekeeper to help with our busy household and two teenage boys (12+15).

Hours: Monday to Friday, 3pm–7pm (20 hours per week) and can be extra during school holidays.

The role combines family cooking, driving, laundry, ironing and general after-school organisation. As the children are teens, the position is focused more on practical family support than traditional childcare.

Main responsibilities:

• Family cooking: Prepare fresh, healthy evening meals for the family, including recipes from our cookbooks.
• Driving: Take the boys to and from after-school activities and appointments using our manual small family car.
• Manage laundry and organisation of boys’ clothes/school uniform and organisation for each school day.
• Manage laundry and changing of family bed linen/towels.
• Ironing: Undertake ironing for the whole family.
• Family organisation: Assist with the boys’ schedules, school-related needs and occasional errands as well as help keep the house in generally good order.
• Kitchen: Tidy up after meal preparation and leave the kitchen clean and organised.

We employ a separate weekly cleaner, so general house cleaning is not required.

Ideal candidate:

• Previous experience working as a nanny-housekeeper, family assistant or in a similar household role.
• A confident home cook who enjoys preparing family meals.
• A safe, experienced driver with a valid driving licence.
• Organised, proactive and able to manage tasks independently.
• Comfortable working with teenagers and respecting and supporting their growing independence.
• Reliable, trustworthy and able to provide excellent references.

We are looking for someone interested in a stable, long-term position who can become a valued part of our household as our current long term help is returning to be nearer family abroad.

Additional details:

• 20 guaranteed hours per week throughout the year.
• Potential for additional hours during school holidays, by mutual agreement.
• Family car provided for work-related driving.
• Off-street parking for the candidate's own car may be available.
