Responsibilities & Duties of the House Manager

The house manager is senior manager in a private household. He or she usually works in a large home or an estate.

Typically, these super candidates can do more or less whatever you need them to. A house manager can run a single home whereas an estate manage can efficiently manage multiple properties. Needless to say, our house manager candidates are extremely capable. Interestingly, these professionals can manage your existing household staff or, if the job demands it, they will roll up their sleeves and do the work themselves. Either way, you never worry about the daily operations of your household.

Examples of duties of a house manager:

• First of all, running the property and residence. Also, maintaining interior and exterior care. All year around on a day to day basis.
• Secondly, coordinate schedules with Principals, PAs or other staff. Of course, also set up the household calendar.
• Thirdly, schedule, supervise and oversee vendors, trades, seasonal maintenance contracts and construction projects.
• Also, manage and oversee electronics and updating technology as needed.
• Moreover, run errands and grocery shop. Of course, managing pantry and household inventories.
• Manage vehicles. For example, booking service for car cleaning.
• Organize and assist the family in packing and unpacking for travel.
• Perform HR tasks related to employment of the staff.
• Last but not least, proactively maintain primary household (and any other homes). For example, creating lists and logs as part of excellent project management.

Experience and Qualifications needed

Of course, all house managers on our house manager agency books have years of experience working in households. Interestingly, some are former property managers. A house manager does not need a qualification but of course, it can help. Therefore, we train house managers at our famous British Butler Academy. However, in order to train with us, you need to have previous background in some form of suitable area. For example, management, service or in a household. Interestingly enough, Private PAs become very good house managers often. Also, housekeepers can train and become excellent house managers with us.

Should I hire a house manager or a domestic couple?

Some clients opt to hire a house manager couple or to hire domestic couple instead of a house manager. There may be some advantages to this choice. For example, a domestic couple can offer coverage of most household duties in your home. The male or female could cover the house management duties whereas the other part can cover all or some other duties, depending on your needs. You may wish to hire several members of domestic staff as live in workers but only have the space for one (or for a couple), and in this instance, a domestic couple may be a good option. Impressively, we have couples for work in London, UK and across the globe. In fact, we have a very large selection of domestic couples. As example, some of the duties they perform, as partly mentioned above are:

1. house management
2. butling
3. driving
4. baby sitting
5. housekeeping
6. service
7. laundry
8. cooking
9. gardening
10. handy man work
11. errands
12. shopping
13. Finally, much more

Much much more.
