Live-In Home Help – Froome, Somerset
Location: Froome, Somerset, UK
Accommodation Provided | part-Time | 6 Days per Week
Start Date: July 2025, exact start date flexible
We are looking for a compassionate, experienced, and highly capable Live-In Home Help to join our family household in beautiful Froome, Somerset. This is a deeply meaningful and essential role supporting a warm, close-knit family comprised of a busy single mother (CEO and founder of a fast-paced US-based company), two kind and independent children (aged 10 and 11), and a physically disabled elderly mother requiring high levels of care and emotional support.
Your Role:
You will be an integral part of the household, helping to maintain a calm, healthy, and nurturing environment. Your primary responsibilities will include:
- Elderly Care: Providing day-to-day personal care, companionship, and emotional support to an elderly woman who is bed-bound and experiences emotional distress.
- Child Support: Ensuring the children are fed, supported in their evening routines, and guided gently when needed—particularly during the evenings, as their mother works overnight hours.
- Home Management: Keeping the household running smoothly with high attention to detail, including daily cleaning, laundry, and general tidying.
- Cooking: Preparing healthy, nutritious meals for the family.
- Other Duties: Occasional errands, organizing the home, liaising with any service providers, and generally helping ensure a peaceful, well-run household.
What We’re Looking For:
- Significant experience running complex, busy homes—ideally with multigenerational family dynamics.
- A strong sense of patience, compassion, and emotional intelligence, particularly in caring for the elderly.
- Confidence in cooking wholesome, healthy meals.
- Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
- A nurturing and calm demeanour; someone the children can feel comfortable with and the family can rely on.
- A proactive, can-do attitude—someone who takes initiative and adapts well to changing needs.
- A driver is preferred but not essential.
