The Morgan Mallet School Housekeeper Training is a curriculum designed to help candidates learn how to effectively manage their future life as a housekeeper in a luxury property. It is a comprehensive programme that covers many aspects of managing the upkeep of a property, chateau, villa, chalet, mansion or grand flat.
The housekeeper training starts with an assessment of the future housekeeper's current situation with our training officer. This includes an assessment of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses, as well as communication and problem-solving skills. During this assessment, the candidate and the trainer will also discuss their goals and motivations. This is an important step in the process as it allows the candidate and our trainers to identify the skill areas to be acquired and to create a suitable training plan.
The next step in the Domestic Helper training process is to create the application form (training agreement) and funding for the training. Our training officer will accompany you during this step. See details below.
The third step of the process is the training course which consists of helping and accompanying the future domestic worker to develop skills during the 10 and a half days with two Morgan Mallet School trainers. See programme below.
Finally, the housekeeper training process ends with a review of the student's progress. During this phase, the future housekeeper will discuss the successes and achievements they have made since the beginning of the training. This is the perfect time to celebrate the student's achievements.

A housekeeper is a person who is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of a high-end property. Housekeepers are usually employed by HNW or UHNW families.
Housekeepers are responsible for a variety of tasks related to the cleaning and maintenance of a house. This includes sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, polishing and scrubbing all surfaces.
They may also be responsible for cleaning and organising cupboards and wardrobes. Housekeeper may also be responsible for laundry, including hand washing, drying, folding and ironing clothes. They may also be asked to carry out minor repairs such as fixing broken items or changing light bulbs.
In addition to cleaning, housekeeper may also be asked to prepare meals and do the shopping. Maid may also be asked to perform other tasks such as walking the dog, taking out the rubbish and watering the plants...
Housekeepers must be able to work independently, as they are responsible for a multitude of tasks without direct supervision. They must also be able to follow instructions and take initiative within the property.
