Modern House Managers UK for hire
Needless to say, our agency offers a prime house manager hire service where many of the candidates are super modern. Equipped with the latest IT skills for example. They often need to be highly computer literate as they sometimes perform PA duties and deal with complex house security systems. Funnily enough, they are sometimes asked to speak a second language. Also, flexibility is needed and the house manager may need to travel with their employers and run multiple homes.More than anything, they are multitasking and resourceful. Importantly, our clients want for hands-on individuals and thus, we cater for this. Furthermore, our clients prefer house and estate managers who are not particular about their duties. Instead, they appreciate it when a House Manager is happy to multi task. For example, he or she may act as Chauffeur, Personal Assistant and Events Organiser. Noteworthy is that in the countryside, the Butler or house manager may need to posses even further skills. Strangely, some are expected to have to to gain knowledge with shoots and care of guns. Appreciated is also the ability to organise a shooting weekend.
How much does a House manager cost?
As you can see above, you may be asking for a tall order. As a result, entry level House Managers UK will start at £60K per year whereas experienced staff will want £70k and up to £100k in the UK. Sometimes even more. Surprisingly, overseas they may ask for £100k and more. So needless to say, you pay for luxury, expertise and finesse. As well as flexibility and total home bliss.
Will my House manager be trained?
More importantly is that you hire someone experienced. Having said that, our agency runs one of the world’s most famous butler and house manager school.
