Looking to Hire a House Manager in Melbourne?
Before you recruit and employ one, there is another way.
RMCo is engaged… not employed… as your House Manager. One point of contact to manage your household.
From part-time to full-time House Management, RMCo manages and coordinates the people, contractors, maintenance, services, presentation and daily operations that keep your home running… without you having to manage it.
Employ a House Manager… or Engage RMCo?
A House Manager recruitment agency helps you find someone to employ. RMCo offers a different model… RMCo becomes your House Manager and takes responsibility for managing your home… entirely.
What is the difference between a House Manager recruiter and RMCo?
A recruiter finds the person. RMCo does the managing.
If you want to employ a House Manager, a recruitment or household staffing agency may be the right route. If you want the home managed without adding another person to your payroll, RMCo offers the alternative.
What does a Private House Manager actually manage?
· Household staff, routines, standards and follow-through
· Trades, contractors, maintenance and household services
· Housekeeping, gardens, pools, vehicles and presentation
· Purchasing, supplies and household administration
· Everyday entertaining, arrivals and home readiness
· Coordination across one residence or multiple homes by agreement
The result… your home is actively managed without you needing to manage it.
Already have household staff? Keep them.
RMCo can direct and coordinate the people already working in your home… housekeepers, gardeners, trades and other service providers. Where new people are required, RMCo can source them and integrate them into the household.
Part-Time to Full-Time House Management
Not every private home needs a full-time House Manager on payroll. RMCo offers three House Management Engagements, allowing the level of management to match the home, its complexity and how involved you want RMCo to be.
RMCo’s fee is the management fee. Direct household costs remain separate, including staff wages, trades, contractors, gardeners, cleaners, chefs/caterers, purchases and supplies.
Questions Owners Should Ask Before Hiring a House Manager.
How do I hire a House Manager in Melbourne?
You can recruit directly, use a House Manager or household staffing agency, or engage RMCo as your appointed House Manager. RMCo is designed for owners who want the household professionally managed without directly employing one.
Do I need a full-time House Manager?
Not necessarily. Some homes need wartime, ranging from general support, to something more active and others require complete support. RMCo structures the engagement around the home and your needs.
Is RMCo a recruitment agency?
No. RMCo is a House Management service. RMCo can source household staff when required, but the core role is to manage the home, the people and the work… not simply place a candidate.
Can RMCo manage staff I already employ?
Yes. Existing household staff can remain in place. RMCo manages, coordinates and follows through with the household team and external contractors on your behalf.
Is RMCo on-site every day?
No. RMCo is not an on-site daily employee. There are structured check-ins, on-site attendance as required and direct access to RMCo when something needs attention.
Can RMCo manage more than one of my residences?
Yes, of course, by agreement. RMCo can coordinate the household operation across multiple residences where that forms part of the engagement.
Where does RMCo work?
Across Melbourne, including the most established suburbs of Camberwell, Hawthorn, Albert Park, Toorak and Brighton, to the Mornington Peninsula. Regional and multi-residence requirements can be discussed.
How do I start?
Start with a confidential conversation about your home, how it currently runs and what you want taken off your plate. RMCo will then recommend the appropriate level of House Management.
