How to become a House Manager?


A house manager is responsible for the client's whole household, which is a big responsibility but definitely a rewarding position.

Every household is different and depending on the client they might require a house manager who will mainly manage the household or they need a hands-on type of house manager who is willing to do other duties such as supporting housekeepers with cleaning the property or preparing meals for the family. It is not like the usual Monday to Friday, 9 to 6 jobs or a position you can study and graduate in.

So the question is how do you become a house manager?

1) Gain experience

Coming from a hospitality background is definitely a plus, however it is not required. Gaining as much experience as you can working for private clients is ideal, you can work yourself up into a house manager position by proving that you can take more responsibilities and gaining the trust of your client. If you, for example, have experience managing a number of staff members and are responsible for scheduling and planning their schedules, or you can demonstrate the client how you liaise and negotiate with contractors and services, these duties can be a foot in the door to becoming a house manager.

2) Skills

As a house manager, you must have a number of strong skills, for example, strong communication skills as you will be in contact with many people, managerial and leadership skills to support and motivate the staff, and to hire and train the right people if new staff is required. Organisation, professionalism, and reliability are additional skills a house manager should have when managing the property of the client. Furthermore, it is important to keep improving and learning new skills. 

3) Applying for house manager positions

If you are applying for a house manager position either through an agency or with the client, it is important that when you read the job description you match the requirements of the job description. Clients usually look for house manager​ that have at least 3-5 years of experience in a similar position, have had similar duties and responsibilities in their past positions, for example, being in charge of a property that was being refurbished and having to contact and negotiate with the contractors or being in charge of checking all household items and ordering from suppliers. If you match all the requirements of the job description, you are more likely to be invited for an interview.

4) Preparing for the interview

When you are invited for an interview, be professionally dressed, preferably in a suit. You must ensure that you will arrive for the interview on time and have all the documents with you if you are requested to provide certain documents such as reference letters, proof of employment (copy of your contracts), a valid passport, and/or clean DBS/criminal background check. During the interview answer the questions professionally and talk about your experiences and skills that match the requirements of the house manager position you are applying for. 

5) Trial day/period

After the interview and the client liked your profile and personality, you will be invited for a trial day/period where you will have to prove your skills. It is important that you understand the household and introduce yourself to the staff members, build your relationships while keeping it professional and impressing the client with your skills and personality. 

These are only a few tips to becoming a house manager, it is crucial to understand that every household is different but mainly gaining as much experience as you can and always improving your skills will allow you to go into the right direction of becoming a house manager.
