The best household staff ensure your properties operate like clockwork. Working seamlessly behind the scenes, they collaborate with one another to ensure you never have to worry about either childcare, household management or cleaning.
Eringold Recruitment specialise in providing the finest house staff for private households across the UK.
We work with high-net individuals, exclusive family offices and elite private households that need the finest staff possible. Our team has over 20 years of experience and specialise in candidates even for the most niche roles.
We appreciate that ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) often have complex lifestyles and multiple residences, which require a range of household staff.
Perhaps you’re looking for experts to manage your personal affairs, maintain your properties, or take care of your day-to-day needs. Whatever your situation, our recruitment team works hard to connect you with the right people.
Our work includes finding household staff for large residences in London and elsewhere in the UK. We work with clients in a number of different sectors, including family offices.
Here are some of the popular household staff we find for UHNWIs:
Household management staff
- Estate Manager/House Managers. These types of professionals oversee your entire household staff and the day-to-day operations of your home. They can handle budgeting, scheduling, and liaise with you to ensure everything goes smoothly.
- Butlers provide personalised services to your family and guests. Their work can include managing the wine cellar, serving meals, and overseeing the front-of-house operations.
Domestic and personal services
- Housekeepers to clean and maintain your home. We frequently work with UHNWIs with households that have several housekeepers, each with specific areas or tasks.
- Private chefs/cooks. Prepares meals according to the preferences and dietary requirements of the family. They may also handle grocery shopping and kitchen management.
- Nannies whose work can include providing educational support and arranging activities. Some households also seek tutors for educational support and personalised learning for children or adults in the household.
- Personal Assistants. A PA can manage your personal schedule, including appointments, travel arrangements, and personal shopping.
Security and maintenance
- Security personnel like bodyguards, security system operators, and possibly a security manager to ensure the safety of the family and property.
- Gardener/Landscapers to maintain the grounds of your property, including gardens, lawns, and any outdoor features like pools or tennis courts.
- Maintenance staff to handle repairs and upkeep of a property, including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.
Drivers and travel professionals
- Chauffeurs provide transportation for your family, often responsible for vehicle maintenance and management.
- Pilot/crew for UHNWIs who own private jets or yachts, a dedicated pilot or crew may be employed to operate and maintain these vehicles.
Other specialised roles
Some households like to have a Valet/Lady’s Maid to assist with personal grooming, wardrobe management, and dressing. Others look for Laundresses to care for delicate fabrics and high-end clothing.
Event planners are also popular for managing social events and gatherings, coordinating with caterers, florists, and other vendors.
Nowadays, an IT specialist can also prove to be invaluable and serve problems with any of your devices.
These roles can vary significantly based on the size of the property, the number of residences, the specific needs of the family, and cultural or regional differences.
Our team uses the latest technology to speed up the recruitment process.
Household staff are often associated with historical properties and are considered part of Britain’s heritage. However, that doesn’t mean the modern recruitment process has to take a traditional approach. Nor does it mean you have to look for people who work in set roles.
At Eringold Recruitment, we are proud to apply modern, cutting-edge technology to benefit our clients and candidates in a wide variety of ways. Modern design, thinking and innovation are at the heart of everything we do.
Firstly, we can save you time by speeding up the non-human side of recruitment. We do this whilst ensuring all background checks are completed, and in depth. Because we can reduce the administrative tasks associated with recruitment, we can spend more time getting to know you and your requirements.
Our recruitment team will get to know your non-negotiables and make the job-hunt as pain-free and straight-forward as possible.
Our recruitment services are committed to fulfilling our clients’ needs.
With our client-centric approach, you’ll always enjoy exceptional support. Above all, we want to ensure we find the best match for your household. If needed, we can collaborate with a competitor, resulting in a split fee, which we feel is better than no placement at all.
We work with you to find the right talent for your role. This matters more to us than simply finding a great candidate in a significant role when it is unsuitable for them and results in a short tenure.
