A wonderful and genuinely exciting opportunity has arisen to join a warm, busy, and multi-generational extended family across two beautifully maintained neighbouring properties near Collingtree, Northamptonshire. The household comprises several working adults — creating a dynamic, warm, and wonderfully varied family environment. Northampton itself is a historic market town with excellent road and rail connections to London, Birmingham, and Cambridge, making it an ideal location for professionals seeking a well-connected, affordable, and peaceful area in which to live and work.
The family are seeking a reliable, capable, and thoroughly professional Housekeeper-Cook to become a genuinely trusted and long-term member of their household — someone who can manage the home with confidence, warmth, and quiet pride.
The role is evenly balanced between comprehensive household management, light meal preparation, and supporting the wider household with driving errands and general daily assistance. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining two neighbouring properties to a consistently high standard, preparing wholesome and nutritious evening meals for the family, managing all household laundry and organisation, and providing warm, reliable support to the grandfather with light errands and companionship.
The family travel regularly during the summer and winter months, during which time the successful candidate will continue to be paid in full whilst the family are away — an exceptional and genuinely generous benefit that allows the professional to enjoy extended paid time off throughout the year (around 40 days a year).
