Housekeeper agency support for homes in Windsor

Housekeeper agency Windsor: the roles we place

Family homes may need combined laundry and housekeeping support or a housekeeper-cook to manage everyday meals. We ask whether school runs or driving are included rather than assuming every housekeeping role involves children.

We specialise in live-in and daily housekeepers, housekeeper-cooks, nanny-housekeepers and temporary cover. We also recruit house managers, butlers and private PAs, with chefs, drivers and domestic couples as complementary appointments. Choose a role based on responsibilities, hours and supervision rather than the size or reputation of a neighbourhood.

Homes and households in Windsor

Our office is at St. Stephens House on Arthur Road in Windsor. Families in the town and surrounding Berkshire villages can discuss household recruitment with a locally based agency, including regular daily housekeeping and live-in arrangements for properties further from transport.

Nearby areas include Eton, Old Windsor, Datchet, Dorney and nearby Berkshire villages. Tell us the actual address or postcode, number of regularly used rooms and how the family uses the property. A secondary home, a home office and frequent visiting relatives each create different practical requirements. We keep the family’s details confidential and use the information to explain the role accurately to suitable candidates.

Typical housekeeper salaries in Windsor

Typical guide ranges for households in this area include £35,000–£55,000 full-time live-out; £35,000–£56,000 live-in plus accommodation. These are guides, not verified town-specific market averages or guaranteed offers; the final budget depends on hours, experience and responsibilities. Part-time, full-time and live-in figures should not be compared without considering the underlying schedule and accommodation.

Set out gross pay, regular days, any weekend expectation and the precise duties. A request for substantial cooking, childcare or staff supervision should be assessed separately from routine housekeeping. We help you review the balance before starting a search. Our salary guide explains related employer costs and why the advertised figure should be clearly expressed.

Recruiting staff for Windsor

Windsor has two rail stations serving different routes. A candidate’s actual journey to the property, including any walk or onward drive, should be checked before agreeing start times. Rural addresses outside the town can change what is practical.

Travel should be practical for the candidate at the actual working times, not simply on a quiet afternoon. Discuss parking, public transport connections and who supplies a vehicle when driving is part of the work. If you offer accommodation, describe privacy, facilities, days off and boundaries clearly. Living at the property does not make someone continuously on duty.

Why families in Windsor use Berkley Clark

We are based in Windsor, Berkshire, and meet families and candidates in person where possible. We take a detailed brief, interview candidates, take references personally from previous private households, check right to work and ensure candidates are DBS checked before a family sees a CV. For nanny-housekeeper childcare duties that are eligible, we assess Enhanced DBS and appropriate paediatric first aid.

A shortlist of suitable candidates is typically sent within five working days. We explain fees clearly and only charge when you hire: permanent placements are 15% of gross annual salary, subject to a £1,500 minimum, payable within fourteen days of the start date. Candidates never pay fees. The fees page explains the conditional replacement guarantee and temporary-to-permanent credit.

Planning an appointment in Windsor

Before registering your vacancy, write down the essential weekly tasks and the times the household most needs support. Include your Windsor location, salary budget, preferred start date and any accommodation. If the role combines housekeeping with cooking, childcare or administration, specify the split and identify which responsibility takes priority.

You remain responsible for making the employment arrangements appropriate to your household. Obtain professional advice about contracts, payroll, holiday, pension duties and insurance, and follow the required right-to-work procedure before work begins. Our recruitment guidance is general information rather than legal or tax advice. We help define the appointment and keep communication discreet throughout.
