Hire an Outstanding Governess / Governor

What better gift can you offer your children than the gift of a proper education? Education will always provide a Plan B if things go South in your children’s lives.

A governess will offer your family more freedom, a bespoke education experience, more security and the ability to travel and create your own family schedule. And it seems like hiring a governess is fashionable, again.

We operate a professional vetting process on all of our governess candidates. Our standards are high because we recognise that our clients’ expectations are also rightfully high. When you choose our governess recruitment services, you will have peace of mind that the shortlisted governesses presented to you have passed stringent criteria and safety checks. Yet, the client always has the final say and can choose from a shortlist of applicable candidates – or request more candidates.

 

Through getting to know our clients, we understand their needs and expectations. Our consultants are trailblazers in the governess recruitment industry and only offer bespoke services to ensure you receive a tailored experience with personalised results.

Why Choose to Hire a Governess?

A Better Future

Employing a governess will give your children the freedom to go at the pace they want. Schools are usually very slow, and you might discover there’s a lot of wasted time. When hiring a governess, she will correctly pace the rhythm of the education and not jump over information that has not been fully understood.

 

More Comfort

Your family might travel a lot and might need the freedom to do that. This is why a normal school with a strict schedule might not fit your lifestyle, but with a governess that travels with your children, this inconvenience would be solved.

 

Assurance

Filling a role that requires the person to work closely with children and inside your home can be daunting. This is why we offer unrivalled peace of mind with fully screened professionals. We are a turnkey solution to providing a bespoke and safe service, every time.

The Expected Live-In/Live-Out Governess Salary in the UK

Our clients are permitted to negotiate governess wages with the candidates themselves. The expected salary for a governess may differ depending on living arrangements. Most will be granted accommodation within the family home, and this can offset some of their salaries. The average wage of the governess should be between £40,000-£85,000. This should be reviewed in line with the current market rate and it may need to be increased depending on specialist skills or qualifications.
