Working as a Housekeeper in the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is a beautiful part of the UK, where many people choose to live or enjoy second homes. With rolling hills, winding roads and beautiful historic buildings, it is a beautiful escape from city life. Because of the appeal of the area, housekeeper jobs in Cotswolds are well sought after for this stunning location, with homeowners looking for help in maintaining these wonderful homes be it for their own personal use or for guests.
A housekeeper is a vital role, helping to keep a home clean, tidy and organised. A housekeeper in the Cotswolds will need to have good attention to detail, be a hard worker and know the best cleaning techniques for everything from mud to red wine!
What to Expect from The Role
A housekeeper will usually have a list of tasks or their own schedule for cleaning the home each day so that it stays in pristine condition. A good housekeeper is a self-starter who has initiative and can keep on top of tasks. Tasks could include vacuuming, dusting, mopping, ironing, laundry, changing bed sheets, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, washing up or loading the dishwasher and polishing to name a few!
A live in housekeeper lives on the property, this could be in a cottage on the grounds, self-contained accommodation or a room or floor. This is often a popular option for both housekeeper and employer as it means no commuting (especially useful in remote areas), no need to find nearby accommodation and more affordable costs for both employer and employee.
Due to the nature and remoteness of some of the Cotswolds, as well as the price of housing in this area, live in housekeeper roles are often the most sensible choice for both parties.
