Description

The mature gardens of the 1-acre main property are made up of large herbaceous, perennial and some annual boarders, lawn, shrubs, hedges and a pond with a water feature.

The Gardener will be responsible for the general maintenance of the gardens including planting, weeding, deadheading, pruning, mulching, lawncare, and hedge cutting.

As well as general grounds maintenance and care of outdoor furniture.

The Housekeeper will be responsible for the maintenance, cleaning and the day to day running of the principal's 6-bedroom property.

This is the primary residence for the couple who have occasional visits from their adult children, so there will be times where the home will need to be prepped for the arrival of guests.

Duties will include but not limited to daily cleaning and occasional deep cleaning of the property, changing beds on a regular basis and preparing spare rooms for guests, family laundry and ironing, care of antiques and specialist surfaces throughout the home, identifying any maintenance issues and liaising with appropriate contractors accordingly and stocking the home with appropriate items including coordinating grocery shopping (cooking not essential but would be a bonus).

The ideal couple will have proven experience working together in a similar role offering longevity and checkable references. Due to location, both sides will need to be confident drivers with their own vehicle.

The principals travel in which case the couple will be responsible for the security of the property which would also involve pet sitting for the 2 family dogs (spaniels).

Accommodation is provided for the successful applicants as a 2-bedroom off site cottage approximately 5-10 minute drive away from the main property.
