        • Estate manager

        Estate manager

        In order to maintain suburban properties in an exemplary state one would need someone to manage them with a steady hand. A country house manager is fully responsible for the management of the house, regardless of whether the owners live in it permanently or just visit it from time to time.

        ””

        Even after being away for a long time the owners must return home with confidence that everything is ready for their arrival. And it doesn't matter if they come to stay for a month or a week or just one night.

        The Manager of a country house is a universal soldier in the service of order

        At all times, an experienced manager (estate manager, majordomo) has been worth his weight in gold and rightly considered a bulwark of stability and well-being of the home and family.

        Today, in the age of high technology, houses are filled with multi functional equipment that saves money and time, protects and creates a comfortable microclimate. But no "smart home" can compare with an experienced, energetic and hard-working estate manager.

        ””

        Only a competent estate manager will maintain order inside and outside the house.

        What does a villa or estate manager do?

        An estate manager has an extensive list of responsibilities, but the specifics of his work will depend on what the employer needs. Each family has a unique way of life that affects the list of responsibilities and requirements for the employee.

        IN MOST CASES WORKING AS AN ESTATE MANAGER INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING RESPONSIBILITIES:

        • hiring other employees and getting them up to speed;
        • manage the household and oversee the work of all staff in the house;
        • ensuring the operation of security systems and engineering communications of the house and the surrounding areas;
        • responsibility for the operation of equipment that is necessary to work in the house and the areas surrounding it;
        • oversee all repair and construction work, manage repair teams;
        • accounting, primary documentation, financial reporting, working with various types of documents;
        • creating and maintaining a "home calendar" - organizing key family events;
        • oversee timely preparation for important events — family holidays and celebrations, official receptions;
        • making sure all vehicles are in order in the garage or parking area.
        ””

        Your estate manager can even be your personal or designated driver if you discuss this responsibility with him separately.

        What qualities should I pay attention to when selecting an estate manager?

        The estate manager is the owner’s right-hand man and a reliable support for the whole family. He is an expert who provides comfort, security and stability in the Employer's premises at the highest level.

        It is a great success to find a real professional in estate management. The Manager of a country house should not only be well versed in many areas (construction, agriculture, machinery, vehicles, office management, accounting), but also have practical experience.

        In addition, the personal qualities of a specialist are important — decency, responsibility, discipline, stress resistance and the ability to quickly navigate through any situation. When selecting an estate manager, it is necessary to evaluate his ability to find a common language with the staff and be an authority for subordinates.

        ””

        A good manager "grows" out of a low-level or middle-level employee. Personal experience and special training — the main requirements for an employee who applies for the position of estate manager.

        How do I hire an estate manager?

        Searching for an estate manager based on personal recommendations or private adverts is not always justified. Today, the market dictates new rules for staff search. In most cases, only a specialised agency can reliably verify the applicant's background.

        English Nanny has experience hiring estate managers from all over the world. We carefully select candidates who meet our clients’ requirements. We make sure each applicant has necessary education and training, professional skills, managerial experience, and great references from previous employers.

        Hiring an estate manager is a painstaking and responsible job, because the order in the house depends on the personal and professional qualities of the manager, as well as the safety of his employer and family members.

        Personal assistant
        In the modern world, the work of a manager or owner of a company involves a large range of responsibilities, some of which he or she has to delegate. In this case, a personal secretary is able to help.
