House Managers
We select experienced house managers to run the complete management of the home, the staff and the suppliers, with verified references.
WHAT DOES A HOUSE MANAGER DO?
The professional who runs your home like an organisation
A house manager is the trusted person who coordinates and oversees everything that happens in a residence: they manage the rest of the domestic staff, organise suppliers and the calendar, control budgets and spending, supervise maintenance and works, and handle protocol and events. It is the ideal role for high-end homes that require professional, discreet management.

+ per responsibility
A house manager's salary starts at around €2,500/month and grows with the responsibility, the size of the home, the staff under their charge and their experience, always above the 2026 SMI (€1,424.50 gross/month over 12 payments). Registered with Social Security from day one. Figures are approximate.
REGULATIONS & CONTRACT
A house manager's contract and rights
A house manager's contract must be put in writing from day one. The maximum working week is 40 hours of effective work, with a minimum weekly rest of 36 hours, at least 24 of them consecutive, and a 12-hour rest between working days.
As this is a position of responsibility, the salary sits well above the minimum, but the 2026 SMI (€1,424.50 gross/month over 12 payments; equivalent to €1,221/month over 14 payments; €17,094/year) is always the legal floor. They must be registered in the Special System for Domestic Employees of the General Regime from day one. Non-compliance carries penalties.
