Understanding Household Staff Roles in London
What Is a House Manager?
A house manager is a senior household professional responsible for the day-to-day running of a private home. The role typically includes supervising staff, coordinating contractors, managing schedules, and ensuring the household operates smoothly and discreetly.
Live-In vs Live-Out Household Staff
Live-in household staff reside within the property and are often suited to roles requiring flexibility or extended coverage. Live-out staff live separately and work set hours, which can be ideal for households seeking structure and privacy outside working time.
What Is a Temp-to-Perm Household Staff Placement?
A temp-to-perm arrangement allows a household to employ a staff member on a temporary basis before offering a permanent role. This provides reassurance for both the client and the candidate that the position is the right long-term fit.
