For permanent placements we charge a % of the candidate’s gross annual salary, payable when an offer of employment is made by the client and accepted by the candidate.

For temporary placements we charge a weekly fee.

Our fees are extremely competitive, please do contact a Signature Staff consultant to find out more.

In the UK, you need to hold a full working visa – there are a few options currently available, including a Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa, a Spousal Visa, and an Ancestry Visa.

Currently, household staff are not able to be sponsored by employers to get visas.

For overseas positions (ex. UK), your Signature Staff consultant will assist you to ensure you apply for the requisite visas for your employee, and you, the Client, will also bear the costs of these.

If you employ a nanny in a permanent part-time position, you are responsible for operating a PAYE scheme for all permanent employees in their household.

It is suggested that employers use either Stafftax (https://www.stafftax.co.uk/) or Nannytax (https://www.nannytax.co.uk/), a specialist outsourced payroll provider to undertake this. Both Stafftax and Nannytax will charge you an annual fee to manage the pyaroll process for the part-time permanent member of staff.

A temporary part-time nanny will be self-employed and hence an employer will pay the nanny the gross amount.
