Offering a negotiable salary depending on experience
We require a minimum of 5 years’ experience working in a private household for both UK and overseas positions.
As you can appreciate, while you will have been trained to work to very high standards, the workings of a prestigious hotel are very different to that of a private household. When checking references it is essential that we can demonstrate that all candidates introduced have the necessary like-for-like experience
for a seamless settling into the new household role.
No we don’t charge candidates a fee to apply to our agency.
We ask that all new applicants send us a copy of their up to date CV, certificates and references to assess their experience and from that point we will advise them if we can help them find a new job.
We understand this can be a nerve wracking time when you see a job you feel is ‘the one’ and we will always keep in touch with you so that you are up-to-date every step of the way.
Due to GDPR legislation, we are not able to hold your data for more than 2 years if we have not had contact with you. We would be delighted to assist you again to find a new job but will need to update your documents to include your latest job and duties. Please do telephone the office now on +44 (0)20 7795 6255 to discuss what you are now looking for so that we can find the best job for your skills and experience.
Firstly, before we send any candidates’ information to our clients, we will discuss the role with the best suited candidates and gain their consent to share their details. Our clients will only receive CV’s and references of candidates who are genuinely interested in the vacancy and also whom are very well suited.
We can of course begin our search immediately according to your wishes but we would discuss with you why they are not working out and if there is anything you can do to improve their performance or, depending
on the issues, how you can resolve with your current member of staff before starting the search for a new candidate. We are always available to give advice if needed depending on the circumstances, but last resort, we can
look at your other options before you take the leap.
Firstly we would look at if this was a new role or an on-going role. If this is a new role, it’s important to have a well set out Job Specification to clearly list the duties and responsibilities therein. The time it takes to
perform the duties must be realistic and any member of staff starting a newly created role will understand that a degree of flexibility is required to finalise the best working routine and practice.
