Half-Day Domestic Helper
Looking for a reliable, experienced helper for weekday afternoons. Tasks include cleaning, laundry, light meal prep. Ideal for locals seeking flexible hours.
Are you looking for a domestic job with flexible afternoon hours and no weekend commitments? A well-established household is recruiting for a Half-Day Domestic Helper to join their team on a full-time basis. The working hours are from 12:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday, with all public holidays off.
Candidates are expected to have prior domestic work experience, be reliable, organised, and able to provide contactable references. Responsibilities will primarily include general cleaning, laundry, ironing, basic meal preparation when required, and ensuring that the home remains tidy and well-organised.
What Does the Job Involve?
- General house cleaning
- Laundry and ironing duties
- Occasional prep of simple meals
- Keeping all spaces orderly
- Collaborating respectfully with the family
Every weekday, your main duty is to clean and maintain the household to a high standard. Laundry, ironing, and some meal prep are also included. Organizational skills are essential as you will need to keep the home neat and facilitate a welcoming environment. Strong English skills, punctuality, and attention to detail are expected daily.
The Pros – Why Consider This Offer?
A half-day schedule leaves your mornings and weekends free, perfect for additional work, studies, or personal time. Working afternoons means you can avoid early-morning commutes and still return home before evening. Being part of a private home instead of an agency can lead to better working relationships and job stability. Weekdays-only means no need to sacrifice your weekends or public holidays. All applicants receive fair consideration if they meet the experience and reference requirements.
The Cons – Potential Challenges
Since this role offers only afternoon hours, your income potential may be limited compared to full-day positions. You must meet high expectations for reliability and performance, meaning consistent effort is essential. Only candidates with previous experience will be considered, so entry-level applicants may not be successful. The workload can fluctuate if extra cleaning or meal prep is required at short notice. You will be expected to reside nearby and have good English communication abilities.
Verdict – Is This Right for You?
If you have strong domestic experience, seek a reliable, manageable schedule, and value afternoons over mornings, this role is a good fit. The predictable hours, weekday routine, and respectful family environment make it an appealing choice for experienced housekeepers. If you meet the requirements and can provide solid references, consider applying for this opportunity.
