Hire a Live In / Out Housekeeper

Before we propose a candidate for your home, we complete the following:

• A face-to-face interview in our office
• Match them against at least ten other maids
• Keep your identity discreet and ask candidates to sign an NDA
• Guarantee a replacement on every one of our recommendations within the first year of their employment
• Check for criminal records, fine defaults, driving bans, check various registers, their DBS, and international records.
• Verify previous work and their references
• Make sure the candidate meets your standards and specific household needs
• Identify the best maids that meet your contractual desires
• Verify that the maids can legally live and work at your residence

To make sure that our candidates are chosen exactly to the client’s needs, we add a year-long guarantee to all of our candidates that get hired by you. If you hire one of our candidates and they fail to live up to your expectation, we will replace them for free within the first year. The same guarantee can be applied to candidates that walk out of the job early.

 

We also never request payment until you want to hire one of our housekeepers. There is never any risk when choosing HazeltonClive as your UK personal staffing agency!

Average UK Housekeeper Salaries

Our services enable clients to speak with maids about their expected salaries. This makes the process easier, quicker and more transparent. The salary of a housekeeper in the UK will ultimately depend on their experience. This could be between £25,000 to £40,000 in the home counties, but it could be reduced if the maid occupies a live-in position with accommodation and utility bills included. The salary can be reduced further if they get meals within their package.

 

If you hire a maid in the UK, their salary should be reviewed in line with current market conditions frequently.

1. Accommodation

Maids may be employed and live inside or outside the family home. More often, they have a live in position and have their own bedroom or annexed apartment to the residence, making it easy for them to get to work and be available in an emergency or unforeseen circumstances.

The accommodation is expected to be spacious with a double bed and necessary amenities. They should have access to the household WiFi as well.

 

2. Car

Maids often have to shop for groceries or cleaning supplies. This may require the use of a car, which the employer should provide if possible. If the maid is to use their personal car, the fuel costs and depreciation should be accounted for within their salary.

 

3. Commute

HazeltonClive seeks out the best maids nearby when the employer is not offering a live-in position. Due to excellent transport links in the UK, this does not usually reduce the number of exceptional candidates available.

 

4. Travel

Sometimes the family may need the live in housekeeper to travel abroad to a holiday property. In these circumstances, the maid should be paid more due to time away from home, and often longer unsociable hours. The employer should also pick up the cost of travel for the staff member.

 

5. Bilingual Staff

Many families in London and across the UK want a bilingual maid to speak their mother language within the home or to communicate with children. HazeltonClive has access to a network of experienced bilingual maids to match this need.

It all gets to asking the housekeeper candidates the right questions.

You also need to make sure that once hired, you clear all the common concerns of hiring a housekeeper.
