House Manager

SOL Domestic Staff Services (DSS) offers real, professional employment for household staff — not informal or casual work. When you join DSS, you become a full employee of Strategic Outsourcing Limited (SOL), a well-established Nigerian workforce solutions company. That means a proper employment contract, a fixed and transparent salary you'll see in full before you accept, and access to pension, health insurance (HMO), and other statutory benefits.

We place skilled, trustworthy household staff — chefs, nannies, caregivers, housekeepers, drivers, and governesses— with respected homes across Lagos and Abuja. Every DSS staff member also receives professional training and certification through the DSS Training Academy, at no cost to you, and ongoing support throughout your placement.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: House Manager

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Role Purpose

• To provide flexible, multi-skilled support across the household — spanning childcare, house management, and kitchen duties.
• This role meets the strong demand for a single, capable, versatile staff member rather than multiple specialists.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide light childcare and supervision as needed
• Maintain household cleanliness, laundry, and order
• Prepare daily family meals and manage basic kitchen duties
• Manage household routines and day-to-day running
• Flex across tasks as the household's needs shift through the day
• Maintain standards across all areas without dropping quality
• Communicate professionally and manage a broad remit

Requirements & Experience

• Demonstrable competence across childcare, housekeeping, and cooking
• 3–10+ years multi-role domestic experience by tier
• Strong organisation and the ability to prioritise across tasks
• Adaptability, reliability, and a willingness to flex
• Fluent English; strong references and clean background

Role-Specific Must-Haves:

• Multi-skill competence assessed across all three areas at sourcing
• Must pass child-safeguarding vetting and complete both food-handler and child-facing vaccinations

Beyond technical ability, every candidate must demonstrate the SOL Domestic Staff Servicescharacter-first standard:

• Integrity and trustworthiness — honesty with the principal's property, money, and privacy
• Professionalism and healthy boundaries — no entitlement, no personal claims on the household
• Confidentiality and discretion — no social media use involving the household; absolute privacy
• Hygiene, neatness, and professional presentation at all times
• Respectful communication and emotional intelligence on the job

Reporting & Deployment:

• Employed by Strategic Outsourcing Limited (SOL) and deployed to a client household under the Domestic Staff Services (DSS) brand.
• The staff member reports to the DSS division and is fully managed by DSS throughout the engagement. The client household is not the employer.

Household All-Rounder:

• One versatile professional: childcare, home and kitchen.
