Cook/Housekeeper & Houseman/Maintenance/Driver couple, Hants £80k gpa

Cook/Housekeeper & Houseman/Maintenance/Driver couple sought to look after magnificent rural home near Andover on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. 

Although only one person in permanent residence, the house can be very busy with extended family at weekends. Would best suit a couple who can cope with peaks and troughs of activity and can keep themselves motivated during quiet periods and calm during the busy times!

The couple must be happy working as a team supporting each other, particularly in the kitchen. Enthusiastic and confident cooks would be ideal, catering for decent family meals, sometimes as many as 20 (including children) for lunch, a good fish pie or spaghetti bolognaise... Making jams, freezing garden produce, baking cakes etc would all be much appreciated. Very informal, relaxed family, no serving required.

General housekeeping, cleaning also required (additional housekeeper looks after the top floor bedrooms and bathrooms). Maintenance duties are really limited to feeding and cleaning out the chickens, laying fires. No gardening needed. Driving for food shopping and occasional station runs (only one driver essential). Car provided on duty only so couple would need their own car.

5 day week, 8.30am - 5.30pm working weekends with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. Any extra hours paid as overtime.

2 bed flat provided away from the main house with small garden. Regret not suitable for pets or dependents.

Interviewing now to start as soon as ideal couple found.

Salary negotiable according to experience from £70k - £80k gross pa
