What to consider before hiring a housekeeper

Hiring a housekeeper is a significant decision — for your household and for the person taking on the role. A well-considered brief, a clear understanding of the arrangement, and an honest conversation about expectations from the outset will determine whether a placement succeeds in the long term.

Here are the key questions to answer before you begin the search:

Full time or part time — what does your household genuinely need? Live-in or live-out — what works for your property and lifestyle? Cooking — do you need someone who can also cook for the family? Sole housekeeper or part of a larger team? Children or pets — and what involvement is expected? PAYE and employer obligations — are you prepared? Trial period — how will you assess whether the placement is working? Budget — including salary, employer NI and any pension obligation

From the first consultation I knew this was a different level of service. Alex understood what we needed before we had finished explaining it. Our housekeeper has been with us for three years and the house has never felt so well run.

I was nervous about having someone in my home full time. The meet and greet before the first day made all the difference. We knew immediately it was going to work. It has been two years and I genuinely could not manage without her.
