How We Can Support Your Home

TAILORED STAFFING SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFESTYLE

Our Approach to Discretion

Recruiting for a private home or estate is personal, and we treat every search with the confidentiality it deserves. We handle each stage discreetly, share only what is necessary, and never outsource candidate screening or reference checks. Your search is managed sensitively, professionally and quietly.

Our Local Expertise

We specialise in private household recruitment across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, with a strong understanding of local salaries, candidate availability and household expectations. This allows us to offer realistic advice and introduce candidates who are genuinely suited to the role, location and lifestyle.

Our Recruitment Process

Every search is personally managed from enquiry through to placement. We take time to understand the role, carefully screen candidates, and ensure expectations are clear on both sides. Before any placement is confirmed, we carry out thorough reference checks directly, verify right-to-work documentation, and ensure all parties are fully informed before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recruit for temporary, permanent, and live-in roles?
Yes. We support full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out, temporary cover, and seasonal staffing depending on your household or estate’s needs.

What types of domestic staff do you place?
We recruit for a wide range of roles including housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, estate workers, domestic couples, chefs, chauffeurs, and household support staff.

Are candidates DBS checked?
Many of our candidates already hold a recent DBS certificate. If a new check is required, we can arrange this as part of the recruitment process.

How do you screen candidates?
Before any placement is finalised, we complete right-to-work checks, detailed reference checks, and have thorough conversations with each candidate about their experience, expectations, and suitability.

Do you work outside of Berkshire?
Yes. Berkshire is our home and where many of our lovely clients are based, but referrals from happy clients naturally take us further afield, often to neighbours across county borders. Many of the families we support also have homes in London, the countryside, or overseas, and we help them staff those properties too. We are also frequently recommended to friends, family members and professional contacts across the UK.

Our recruitment process is solid, consistent and works wherever you are, so we are confident supporting clients across the country and beyond.

How long does the recruitment process take?
This varies depending on the role, but we can finalise most placements within 2 months while maintaining high standards of vetting and discretion.

Let’s Discuss Your Requirements

Every home and estate is unique and the right member of staff should feel like a natural fit for the way you live. We take the time to listen, understand what matters to you, and offer honest, practical advice throughout the process. Our aim is to introduce candidates who meet your expectations for professionalism, discretion, and trust.
