Professional ‘Domestic Couples
Professional Domestic Couples are totally unique and in high demand as they bring so many diverse skills to every role and can offer excellent team work to maximise the efficiency of your household.
Eden Private Staff constantly seek to register experienced career Couples for their international client base so if you are a professional Domestic Couple seeking employment or a Client seeking to fill a vacancy then please read on…
Eden Private Staff fully appreciates and greatly values the skill sets, experience and knowledge career Couples can bring to the table and we need excellent Couples to work for high net worth individuals and discerning households across the UK and throughout the world. Eden Clients demand the best quality candidates and that is what we will always aim to provide.
There are a great many benefits in this relationship for both the Couple & the Client and each role will be unique in every way.
Every position and every household will offer something different to each Couple and the work will be carefully matched with their specific skill-set.
We may for example have a Client who requires the combination of a Nanny/ Housekeeper with a Gardener or it could be a Personal Assistant with a Chauffeur or Handyman. Consider also an Estates Management Couple, a Housekeeper and a Chef and many other diverse combinations and you will start to get an idea of how wide-ranging the role could be.
The benefits to the Client and to the Couple as already mentioned are manifold and here are some of the main areas that work well for both parties:
- One Team Working Together: employing a Couple means having a team who work well together to utilise their skills which complement each other. There is of course already an excellent level of understanding and as the Couple are accustomed to working together they are very effective at quickly and seamlessly achieving a smooth running household
- Flexibility: a Couple will utilise their unique skill-set in the role and alongside this can offer flexibility to the Client as there are likely to be opportunities for growth , development of the role and learning in the job. By taking on more specialised tasks it removes the need for Clients to take on additional staff to cover a role.
- Security: an added bonus for Clients is that of security when they are not in residence. A Couple living on site can be a great advantage, giving peace of mind. Also, if it is appropriate (& agreed to by the Couple) there could be an arrangement for taking care of animals as well
- Access to Unique Specialist Skills:The Client may require expert knowledge of something specific, for example knowledge of plants & trees and all things horticultural: exceptional culinary skills and knowledge of international cuisines: understanding of and caring for silverware/artwork/antiques/classic cars
Domestic Couples offer an array of possibilities to Clients and also give themselves opportunities to advance their careers, so it is a win-win when Eden successfully place a Couple!
