Jobs

Canterbury, Kent - Housekeeper/Proxy Parent to support family of 4.  Children aged 11 yrs; 13 yrs; 14 yrs; 15 yrs.  This position is ideally suited to a flexible individual who is happy to work up to 9 months of the year mainly for part-time hours on a daily basis (negotiable by agreement), and then live-in full-time as a Proxy Parent (24 hrs) for 3 months of the year. 

During the time the mother is home, typical housekeeping duties will include all general housekeeping including washing and ironing; food shopping and meal preparation and help with school runs if required.  When fulfilling the Proxy Parent role, the time periods will not all be in a single block but are likely to be divided into 2/3 week segments whilst the mother is away abroad.  These trips will only take place in term-time whilst the children are at school.  During these periods whilst the candidate will be responsible in a Proxy Parent capacity 24 hours a day, the family want to highlight that there is robust local family support should it be needed.

The children’s schools are located in Canterbury, one is walking distance from the house, and the other a short drive away and therefore a driver is required.  A car can also be provided for the candidate’s use.  During these periods, the younger children need dropping off and picking up from school. If they have after school activities they need driving and picking up from these.  Usual homework supervision and meal preparation etc. 

It should also be highlighted that Covid allowing, it is likely that the family will travel abroad regularly during the school holidays.  At these times the candidate will be required for minimal duties such as checking on the house and preparing it for the family’s return etc.  This is an unique position which would suit someone who likes to be kept busy at certain periods but would also appreciate periods of free time.  A generous full-time salary will be offered and is negotiable for the right individual.  Start April.
