Understanding Singapore's Household Services Scheme

Adaptive Housekeeping | January 26, 2024

In Singapore, the demand for household services has evolved with the introduction of the Household Services Scheme (HSS). This scheme allows companies like Adaptive Housekeeping to provide part-time domestic services, offering a flexible and efficient solution for families and individuals. In this blog, we’ll delve into the details of the Household Services Scheme and highlight the key differences between engaging a migrant domestic worker and the services of an HSS company.

The Household Services Scheme (HSS):

The Household Services Scheme is a game-changer for companies seeking to hire migrant workers to provide part-time domestic services. This includes a range of tasks such as home cleaning, grocery shopping, car-washing, and pet-sitting. Adaptive Housekeeping, operating under UEN: 202116467Z, embraces the opportunities presented by the HSS to offer tailored solutions for households in need of convenient and reliable services.

Engaging a Migrant Domestic Worker vs. HSS Services:

Living Arrangements:

  • Migrant Domestic Worker: Lives with the employer and can only work for them.
  • HSS Services: Workers are not required to live in the houses they serve and can be deployed to multiple locations on a part-time basis.

Scope of Work:

  • Migrant Domestic Worker: Primarily focused on tasks within the employer’s home.
  • HSS Services: Can provide select household services on a part-time basis, offering flexibility for families with varying needs.

Ad-Hoc Basis vs. Full-Time Engagement:

  • Families with sporadic needs can benefit from HSS services on an ad-hoc basis.
  • Engaging a full-time live-in migrant domestic worker might be more suitable for households requiring continuous assistance.

Why Choose HSS Services:

  • Flexibility: HSS services offer flexibility for families with changing needs, allowing them to tailor services based on their requirements.
  • Cost-Effective: Families can avoid the commitment and expenses associated with hiring a full-time live-in domestic worker, making HSS services a cost-effective alternative.
  • Variety of Services: Adaptive Housekeeping, under the HSS, provides a range of services, ensuring that households can find the support they need without the constraints of a full-time arrangement.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the Household Services Scheme brings a new dimension to the landscape of domestic services in Singapore. Adaptive Housekeeping, as a participant in the scheme, stands ready to offer tailored solutions for households seeking convenience and flexibility. Whether you need occasional cleaning, grocery assistance, or pet-sitting, the HSS allows families to access a variety of services without the commitments of engaging a full-time domestic worker.
