Little Kingshill, South East England

We are looking for a live-in couple or individual to help us with dog minding and housekeeping/maintenance. We will provide free accommodation in exchange for 10-12 hours per week of housekeeping (cleaning, ironing) and DIY/maintenance around the house and garden. Also, looking after our well-behaved golden labrador when we are at work or away.

The position is not paid, but you will have a detached cottage (single bedroom with en-suite bathroom upstairs, and living room and kitchen downstairs) with parking for up to 3 cars. You will also be welcome to make use of our garden.

We are in a rural area of Buckinghamshire in the Chiltern Hills. Our house and the accompanying cottage is set in about 20 acres of garden and fields with ready access to the surrounding countryside. You will almost certainly need your own car as public transport is very limited.

The position would particularly suit a couple (housekeeper & handyman) looking for a long-term position in a beautiful country location with a modest workload in exchange for rent-free accommodation. Pets by agreement.
