CLIENT ENQUIRY FORM

Housekeeper

An experienced Housekeeper is an essential member of any private household team. A professional Housekeeper or Laundress ensures that your home operates smoothly and efficiently, attending to your preferences with expert care and attention. We offer Housekeepers and Housekeeper/Cooks for both live-in and daily live-out roles.

Nannies & Childcare

Our childcare department specializes in placing candidates for Nanny, Nanny/Housekeeper, Mother's Help, Maternity Nurse, Travelling Governess, and Tutor positions. All candidates are required to hold an Enhanced DBS certificate, Paediatric First Aid certification, experience with the relevant age group, and any formal qualifications specified by the client, such as MNT, BTEC, NVQ, or NNEB.

PAs & EAs

We recruit Private PAs, Entertainment/Celebrity PAs, Creative PAs, and Executive Assistants for both permanent and freelance roles. These professionals are responsible for managing their employer's schedule, including diary management, coordinating private and business travel, handling visa applications, overseeing private staff, arranging bookings and appointments, and much more.

Butler/House Managers

A Butler or House Manager oversees the domestic household staff, ensuring smooth operations. Depending on the level of service and valet duties required, a Butler may be the ideal choice. Head Butlers often possess formal training and may offer additional skills such as cooking or driving. However, if formal service is not necessary, a House Manager might be a more suitable option.

Chefs & Family Cooks

A Private Chef can offer everything from exquisite fine dining experiences to wholesome, delicious family meals. Some chefs bring experience from Michelin-starred kitchens, while others may have a background in superyachts. Many specialize in particular cuisines and can accommodate diverse dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, kosher, as well as Japanese, Italian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Classic French cuisine.

Chauffeurs & CPOs

A Chauffeur often fulfills a wide range of duties, including light PA tasks like making restaurant reservations or running errands while on standby. They may drive for private individuals or corporations and can offer basic security support when necessary. In situations where there is a tangible risk to an individual or household, a qualified Close Protection Officer (CPO) or Security Driver is required.

Domestic Couples

Domestic Couples typically live on-site and are commonly employed for roles in rural or countryside settings. They handle a wide range of responsibilities, including housekeeping, cooking, laundry, basic gardening, household maintenance, and driving. For larger estates or properties with more extensive grounds—such as kitchen gardens, floral gardens, or orchards—additional gardening support may be necessary to ensure proper upkeep.

Estate Managers

An Estate Manager is essential for private estates with extensive land, livestock, or stables, and typically resides on-site. Their expertise in land management is particularly valuable for properties with woodlands, lakes, or designated wildlife conservation areas. For estates where a full-time Estate Manager may not be necessary, we also offer highly skilled Gardeners and Designers to meet your needs.

Interior Yacht Crew

We recruit for a range of Interior Yacht Crew positions, including Yacht Chef, Stewardess, Steward, Purser, Butler, and Yacht Manager/PA. Candidates must hold all necessary training certificates, such as STCW95, along with a valid ENG1 medical certificate. Additionally, we place yacht crew members into private households, where their transferable skills can be effectively applied.

Tailored Solutions

Bespoke Staff Recruitment

Frequently, roles require candidates with a diverse set of skills, such as combining housekeeping with childcare, estate maintenance with driving, or household management with PA support. We excel in identifying applicants who can seamlessly fulfill these broader roles.

For clients with multiple properties worldwide, many of our registered candidates are open to travel and can perform their duties at international residences as needed.

For those seeking temporary or seasonal support, including chalet staff or yacht crew, please visit our Temporary Staff, Yacht & Ski page for more information.
