Casual Housekeeping Assistant

Job Advert

We are looking for two permanent housekeeping assistants to come and join our friendly team responsible for maintaining excellent cleanliness standards within the private household at Bolton Abbey..

Working alongside the Head Housekeeper and housekeeping team to ensure that the house is constantly well-maintained to a high standard. We are looking for someone who has an eye for detail and takes pride in their work. The residence has antiques and fine furniture so you must ideally have experience caring for them (however training can be given if not). The ideal person will be an all-rounder, able to maintain the general tidiness of the family home and happy to help out where needed.

Duties will include (but are not limited to) all required housekeeping to maintain cleanliness throughout the family home, making and changing beds, cleaning bathrooms, laundry, ironing, packing and unpacking fine clothing; dusting, polishing, vacuuming, mopping; restocking personal items as well as the occasional pantry assistance.

The roles are casual. Hours may include working weekends, and evenings, if there is a dinner party, event or similar. Being a team player is key and paramount to the success of the role.

Previous experience is preferable, however full training will be provided. You will understand the need for discretion and confidentiality and must want to help contribute towards our successful team environment.

Due to the rural location and sometimes irregular hours, having personal transportation is necessary.

Further details of the role will be provided if your application is successfully shortlisted for interview.

In return, we offer several company benefits including an Estate Pass for free access to Chatsworth and the Bolton Abbey Estate for you and guests plus discounts at various hotels and restaurants across the Devonshire Group.
