Hire a Domestic Couple

Domestic couples provide an unparalleled level of dedication and loyalty to affluent families living in larger estates. You benefit from a reduced staff turnover as they usually reside within the property.

The couple can help and support each other and to divide the tasks between the two more efficiently. Depending on your requirements and the agreement with the couple, they will be able to assist you with gardening tasks, farm maintenance, security and help out as a personal driver even during out of business hours. They would be able to cover a wider array of tasks that would normally require dedicated staff, like housekeepers, nannies, chauffeurs or security staff.

How Much Do UK Domestic Couples Earn?

Some UK staffing agencies will not allow employers to negotiate the wage with domestic couples directly. We at HazeltonClive are different and make sure all of our own clients have free rein of salary negotiations. Most domestic couples are employed as live-in staff, meaning their salary is reflective of inclusive accommodation, utility bills and in some cases their meals.

The average domestic couple is paid £21,000 to £35,000 per member of the couple per annum (£1,485 to £1,995 monthly net). Experienced live-in domestic couples can earn £40,000+ gross per individual each year (£2,561+ net) or even more. As with any staffing position, these figures are benchmarks and can change based on skills and circumstances. Read more about what kind of families hire domestic couples.

Note that a domestic couple will be more cost-efficient than two different individual employees.
