Housekeeping is now a fantastic, respectable, well paid career. Here are 10 reasons why:

1. You will always have work – if you are good at what you do, you will always be in a job. We have more housekeeping enquiries than any other staffing need. Everyone wants a housekeeper!

2. Respect – the clients want and need you – they will be so grateful for your work and what you do, and will not want to lose you.

3. Fantastic opportunities – whether you are working in a large or small private household, in a team or on your own – if you work hard and are good at what you do, you have the ability to grow and build your way up to head housekeeper or manager level

4. Daily cleaning means no build up of mess – it is a case of keeping on top of the day to day cleaning making your job easier

5. Put your individual mark on things – make an already beautiful home look even more amazing with special touches such as flower arrangements or table design

6. Depending on the role and whether you are working alone or in a team, once you are established in your household, you have the ability to make your own system, daily routines and manage your own time, with your manager putting their trust in you

7. Assist at beautiful functions – on occasions you may be asked to work with an amazing chef, serving and clearing at dinner parties – these are great opportunities

8. Stay fit and healthy - burn lots of calories whilst you work and are paid for it!

9. Organisation – re organise/tidy wardrobes and cupboards, you will be making the client feel happier, less stressed and in control: tidy house, tidy mind, which will make your life easier too

10. Opportunities to earn a very respectable salary, and occasionally the jobs will come with lovely accommodation too – once you have worked your way up the housekeeping career ladder you can expect to earn as much as a private household chef or butler, if not more!
