Domestic Staff Recruitment
Irving Scott recruits vetted household staff for London families who need discretion, judgement and long-term fit. We place butlers, housekeepers, private chefs, nannies, domestic couples, PAs, house managers and estate managers across Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea, Belgravia and beyond.
Experienced across prime central London homes and international households.
References, right-to-work checks and detailed brief matching before shortlist.
Focused introductions for households that need fit, not volume.
A good household staffing agency does more than fill a vacancy. The work is personal: the right person will be in your kitchen, nursery, dressing room, cars, guest spaces and family routines. We build the brief around how your home actually runs, then introduce candidates who can operate inside that environment with confidence and discretion.
London households often need staff who can handle formal service one day and a busy family schedule the next. We recruit for that range: traditional domestic staff, modern household operators, senior managers and specialist roles where privacy, references and temperament matter as much as experience.
Formal service, household leadership and guest-facing support.
