If you’re looking for a stable and live-in housekeeping role with competitive benefits, this full time live-in helper opportunity offers a monthly salary of R4000 and inclusive groceries. This is a private employment position where you’ll get accommodation, one weekend off per month, and be a central part of a household’s smooth operation. The employer is particularly seeking reliable, energetic, friendly, and honest individuals between the ages of 30 and 50 with at least 2 years’ experience and valid, traceable references. Applicants must speak fluent English and hold a valid SA ID.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Your day will typically involve a range of regular household chores. You’ll be expected to keep the home in pristine condition, with essential duties including cleaning windows and sliding doors, maintaining neatness, and being flexible with working hours.
Quick, tidy work is valued highly, so prior experience managing the needs of a large home is advantageous. Communication is key – fluent English will help you follow instructions and comfortably interact within the household.
Adhering to a consistent standard of politeness and efficiency, you’ll also ensure the highest standards of cleanliness across the home. Meal preparation may not be specified but managing groceries is included within your compensation.
The employer places a strong emphasis on trustworthiness, so references will be checked thoroughly. Be prepared to offer background and willingness to adhere to workplace conduct standards. This is not just a cleaning job; the household prizes energetic, helpful, and reliable individuals.
Pros of the Position
One significant benefit is the guaranteed monthly salary of R4000, making budgeting more straightforward. In addition, groceries are supplied, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses for food.
The live-in nature of the job means accommodation is part of the package, ensuring you’ll have a place to stay. Getting one weekend off each month allows for personal time, helping balance work and rest.
Cons of the Position
Applicants must be within a specific age bracket, limiting opportunities for those older or younger. The need for at least two years’ experience in large houses may exclude newcomers without references.
You may find the work pace and flexibility requirements challenging, especially if you are not accustomed to rapid, high-standard tasks across a big property. Immediate rejection for unreliable applicants or those without proper references should be expected.
Final Verdict
This job is ideal for experienced helpers with a strong work ethic, ready to live in and maintain a large home with integrity and efficiency. If you can provide references and enjoy structured, routine tasks in a private home setting, this could be an excellent next step in your career.
