WILKIN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Household Staffing & Support London
Professional support for private household staff, from establishing roles and routines to ongoing supervision, recruitment support and temporary cover.
PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS
The right people, clear responsibilities and a household team that works effectively together.
HOUSEHOLD STAFFING
A successful household depends on more than simply having the right people.
Private household staff play an important role in maintaining the standards, routines and day-to-day operation of a home. For the household to work effectively, responsibilities need to be clear and the team needs appropriate structure and support.
Wilkin Property Management works with homeowners and their household staff to help establish that structure, providing a professional point of coordination where required.
Whether you already have an established team, require additional staff or need temporary support during periods of absence, our involvement can be tailored around the requirements of your household.

EXISTING HOUSEHOLD STAFF
Supporting an established household team.
Many clients already have trusted staff who know the property and household extremely well. In these situations, our role is not to replace what works, but to help strengthen the structure around it.
Wilkin can work alongside existing household staff to help clarify responsibilities, coordinate routines and provide additional management support where required.
This can be particularly valuable where the homeowner spends significant periods away, manages several residences or simply wants a professional point of contact overseeing the wider operation of the home.
NEW HOUSEHOLD STAFF
Building the right household team around your needs.
When new staff are required, the starting point should be understanding what the household actually needs rather than simply filling a vacancy.
We can help define roles and responsibilities, support the recruitment process and assist with the integration of new staff into the household.
The objective is a team whose skills, responsibilities and working arrangements complement both the property and the lifestyle of the people who live there.
FROM ROLE TO ROUTINE
Recruitment is only the beginning.
A successful appointment needs to work within the wider household. Responsibilities, reporting, routines and expectations should all be understood from the outset.
Wilkin can help create that structure so new staff can become an effective part of the household rather than simply another appointment to manage.
ANNUAL LEAVE & ABSENCE
Continuity when regular staff are away.
Annual leave, sickness and other absences should not leave a household without the support it relies upon. Where required, Wilkin can help coordinate appropriate temporary cover and maintain continuity during periods of staff absence.
HOUSEHOLD CONTINUITY
Your household still needs to run when somebody is away.
The absence of a key member of staff can quickly affect the routines of a busy household. Planning ahead makes those periods considerably easier to manage.
By understanding how the household operates and which responsibilities need covering, appropriate arrangements can be made while maintaining the standards and routines expected within the home.
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
Clear standards. Confident staff. Consistent service.
Even experienced household staff can benefit from clear procedures, communication and ongoing professional support.
Where appropriate, Wilkin can help identify areas where additional guidance or training may improve the operation of the household and support staff in delivering the standards expected of them.
The emphasis is on creating a positive, professional household environment with clear expectations and effective working relationships.
THE WIDER HOUSEHOLD
Need more than staffing support?
Household staffing can form part of a wider management service covering the property, maintenance, contractors and everyday household requirements.
A NEW OR CHANGING HOUSEHOLD
Starting from scratch?
If you are establishing a new household, moving into a property or restructuring an existing arrangement, we can help plan how the household should operate as a whole.
PART OF A COMPLETE SERVICE
People, property and routines working together.
Household staff are only one part of running a private home effectively. Maintenance, contractors, servicing, security and the owner’s own requirements all need to fit around the same household.
Wilkin’s wider household management service allows those elements to be coordinated through one trusted point of contact where required.
