Frequently Asked Questions.
Some of our commonly asked questions regarding the garden position. If you have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on 020 3033 0000 or Mail@MasseysAgency.co.uk.
Do your candidates come with a DBS?
We don’t automatically undertake a DBS for every candidate that registers with us as sometimes candidates may find their own jobs and only stay on our books for a short while. However if a client employs someone who we introduce and who does not have a current DBS but is required to have one for the position, then we are happy to do this for you.
What locations do you cover?
We are able to supply staff across the whole of the UK, including Scotland and Ireland. We also cover International positions.
Do you have any upfront costs?
No, we provide a free service for candidates who are looking for work and we only invoice clients if they employ a candidate who we have introduced to them.
Do you provide temporary staff?
Unfortunately we do not provide staff for short term assignments, however we do accept some contracts for a minimum of three months upwards.
Can I register with you?
We absolutely love hearing from candidates with good, relevant experience in private households. Unfortunately without previous experience it is unlikely we will be able to help you but we are always happy to advise. Chauffeurs must have previous experience of working as a private chauffeur and not purely in chauffeur services or taxi driving.
How long will it take to fill my vacancy?
A vacancy could be filled within a matter of days or it could take longer. The timescale depends on which candidates are registered at the time of you giving us your vacancy, and whether they match your requirements. We will never just send a CV for the sake of it or to ‘make up the numbers’.
Will I be able to trial the candidates?
We are happy to organise short trials wherever possible, however you need to bear in mind that it might not always be possible if a candidate is in a full time job. In order to address the fact that very occasionally things may not always go to plan, we offer a rebate/replacement period for your peace of mind.
What should I look for when hiring a gardener?
The things to look for when hiring a gardener will depend on your outside space. Do you have mainly formal gardens or is the majority of the garden laid to lawn? Do you want the gardener to look after paddocks or woodlands? And do you have glasshouses and vegetable gardens? What your garden consists of will determine the level of experience that you need in your gardener. You may also wish to consider whether you need someone with environmental qualifications if this is important to you. If your garden is mainly lawn with simple borders, a good maintenance gardener should suffice. However if you are looking for a more creative gardener and someone used to complex formal gardens then you should be looking for horticultural qualifications. You may wish to check what type of equipment they have used in the past [ride-on mowers, chainsaws etc.] and their understanding of health and safety legislation especially around the use of chemicals.
