About Us; We are a family of four based in Tamarin / Black River — our two teenage sons are currently at boarding school in Zimbabwe. We're looking for one organised, reliable, calm person to be the central point of control for a smoothly run household — coordinating a small existing team, managing the kitchen, cooking healthy vegan family meals, and handling personal admin. You don't need previous vegan cooking experience, but you must be a confident cook who can follow recipes accurately. You'll also support Heather in her work as founder of Ecoshe, a plant-based education NGO, if time permits

  • Manage personal admin, appointments, calendars, bills, receipts, online orders, and follow-ups.
  • Assist with family, property portfolio, wellness and occasional social events
  • Business support to Heather for ecoshe.com including events 
  • Arrange travel, accommodation, visas, transport, and itineraries.

We’re Looking For Someone Who Is
  • A strong, confident cook who enjoys preparing healthy food. 
  • Highly organised, proactive, calm, and reliable.
  • Discreet, trustworthy, and good with confidential information.
  • Comfortable using WhatsApp, email, calendars, Google Sheets, docs, and online tools like ai.
  • Flexible, practical, and good at solving problems.
  • Able to manage domestic staff respectfully but firmly.
  • Experienced in PA work, household management, hospitality, property coordination, or similar.
  • Able to track and manage household and contractor expenses 

Must-Haves
  • Valid driving licence and clean driving record.
  • Legal right to work in Mauritius.
  • Able to work or live in or near Tamarin / Black River.
  • Comfortable working in an alcohol free, smoke free and vegan household.
  • English required. French and/or Creole a bonus.
  • Good references from previous jobs
  • At least 5 years experience 

Package
Option A: MUR 40,000-50,000 gross salary per month and 1 meal a day
Option B: MUR 20,000-35,000/month plus 1-bedroom and 1 meal a day when and if needed
