Staff Training

Bespoke home organisation training for private staff

At Ankersen Drake, we believe that the smooth running of a household depends on attention to detail, consistency, and confident day-to-day care. Whether you want to streamline daily operations or ensure your team can confidently maintain high standards, we offer detailed, hands-on training tailored to your specific household. Sessions take place in your home and are built around the systems already in place, from the organisation of each room and the care of wardrobes to the daily routines of the pantry, laundry and household supplies, so that every member of staff works to the same standard from one day to the next. Where it is useful, the training can be recorded in a staff manual, giving your team a written reference to return to.

  • Areas of Training

  • Home Organisation

    We train household staff to maintain and adapt organisation systems throughout the home, including how each space is arranged, reset and kept in order day to day.

    Equipping your staff with expert clothing care knowledge and wardrobe management skills, from seasonal changeovers and packing to maintaining tidy, functional systems with attention to detail.

  • Daily Systems Maintenance

How it works

Consultation & Assessment

We start with a complimentary virtual consultation to define your priorities and the type of guidance best suited to your household staff. Taking this into account, alongside your budget, we will then devise a quote for you. Once you have confirmed you are ready to move forward, we will get started on your Customised Training Plan.

Customised Training Plan

Following the consultation, we create a bespoke training plan around your priorities, whether wardrobe care, pantry upkeep, labelling or maintaining household systems. We email it to you for review, adjust it to your feedback, or talk it through in a meeting if you prefer, then schedule your training session.

On-Site Training

On the day, we train your staff hands-on, with clear instructions, practical demonstrations and useful tips, so they can carry out daily tasks, maintain the systems and keep the home in order with confidence, asking questions as they go.

Staff Manual Creation Optional

We’ll develop a custom staff manual that aligns with the training. This can include anything from detailed garment care instructions to item location directories, ensuring your staff can maintain the highest standard of organisation at all times.

Ongoing Support

To ensure a seamless transition, we can provide follow-up support by arrangement, providing ongoing guidance to your staff as they begin implementing the training within your household.

Staff manuals

A staff manual records the routines and standards your team has been trained in, so they hold long after the session and new staff can learn them from the same reference. Manuals can be printed, digital or both.
