More and more roles such as housekeepers, nannies and working couples are being offered as flexible. There is the obvious requirements of the principle to consider and there may be the need for core hours, but there is a noticeable shift in the private staff market offering flexible working and an understanding that a work-life balance is important.

Flexible Roles

Working as a live in or a live out Housekeeper can be a very flexible role. Often the home owners are happy to be flexible on hours as long as the job gets done. Working efficiently and keeping open communication means both clients receive the most professional and highest quality service while service providers such as housekeepers (and butlers, drivers and estate managers) get to work flexibly.

Not only can being a professional Housekeeper be a role with flexible hours but it can also be financially rewarding, with some housekeepers earning around £37,000 a year, and a career in which you can travel and work up to becoming a senior member of household staff, managing teams of other private staff.
