Department: Maids Management / Domestic Worker Services
Reports to: Maids Management Supervisor / Operations Manager
Location: Kampala, Uganda
Employment Type: Full-Time Trainee
Level: Entry Level / Trainee
1. Role Purpose
The Maids Management Trainee is responsible for using Lafab Solutions’ Maids Management System to help deliver a reliable, professional and continuously improving domestic worker placement service.
The role is not simply about finding maids for clients. The trainee is responsible for executing the Maids Management Process through the digital system — from sourcing and registering domestic workers, through vetting and matching, placement, onboarding, follow-up, performance monitoring, issue resolution and replacement.
The trainee should ensure that every maid and every client is properly managed within the system, so that the quality of the service does not depend on individual staff members remembering what to do.
Core Principle
The system and process manage the maid; the employee manages the process.
The trainee must therefore become highly proficient in using the Maids Management System and follow its workflows, records, tasks and controls consistently.
2. Main Objective
To help Lafab Solutions build and maintain a large, reliable and well-managed domestic worker network while ensuring that every client receives a trusted, suitable and properly supported maid.
The trainee should ensure that:
Find → Register → Vet → Assess → Match → Place → Onboard → Monitor → Support → Rate → Retain/Replace
is executed consistently for every domestic worker and client.
3. Key Responsibilities
A. Domestic Worker Sourcing & Registration
The trainee will help continuously build Lafab Solutions’ domestic worker database.
Responsibilities include:
- Identify potential domestic workers through approved recruitment channels.
- Receive referrals and domestic worker leads from agents and other sources.
- Contact prospective domestic workers.
- Explain Lafab Solutions’ maid placement process.
- Register domestic workers in the Maids Management System.
- Ensure every worker has a complete and accurate digital profile.
- Capture personal information, skills, experience, preferred work, location and availability.
- Record previous employment and relevant references.
- Keep worker status updated in the system.
- Follow up inactive or incomplete worker profiles.
- Identify workers who are suitable for immediate placement.
- Maintain a continuously growing pool of available domestic workers.
Important principle:
A maid who is not properly recorded in the system is not properly managed by Lafab Solutions.
4. Worker Vetting & Verification
The trainee will support the process of establishing whether a domestic worker is suitable and trustworthy before placement.
Responsibilities include:
- Ensure required worker information is collected.
- Follow the approved domestic worker vetting checklist.
- Coordinate required document verification.
- Follow up on medical checks where required.
- Follow up on criminal/background checks where applicable.
- Verify references and previous employment information.
- Identify inconsistencies or suspicious information.
- Record verification results in the system.
- Ensure outstanding verification requirements are tracked.
- Escalate concerns to the supervisor.
- Do not recommend a worker for placement when required checks are incomplete or unresolved.
The objective is to ensure that client trust is built through a controlled process rather than personal judgment alone.
5. Domestic Worker Assessment & Classification
The trainee will help understand what each maid can actually do and what type of household she is suitable for.
This includes:
- Assessing domestic work experience.
- Recording skills and competencies.
- Identifying experience with:
- General housework
- Cooking
- Childcare
- Laundry
- Cleaning
- Elderly care
- Gardening
- Household organisation
- Other relevant domestic responsibilities
- Record preferred job type.
- Record preferred location.
- Record availability.
- Record salary expectations where applicable.
- Identify strengths and limitations.
- Maintain accurate worker ratings and classifications in the system.
The objective is to create a usable worker profile that supports intelligent matching, rather than simply storing a person’s name and phone number.
6. Client Requirements & Matching
The trainee will support the process of matching the right domestic worker to the right household.
Responsibilities include:
- Capture and maintain client household requirements in the system.
- Understand the client’s required duties and expectations.

- Shortlist appropriate domestic workers.
- Present suitable candidates through the approved process.
- Avoid unsuitable or poorly matched placements.
- Record the matching and placement process in the system.
- Follow up with the client regarding shortlisted candidates.
Matching principle:
The objective is not to place the next available maid. The objective is to place the most suitable maid.
7. Placement & Onboarding
Once a client selects a maid, the trainee will ensure that the placement is properly completed and recorded.
Responsibilities include:
- Confirm placement details.
- Ensure required documentation is completed.

- Follow up on complaints.
- Coordinate solutions with supervisors and relevant team members.

The Maids Management service must also protect the quality and stability of the worker relationship.
The trainee will:
- Maintain regular communication with placed workers.
- Listen to worker concerns.

- Help workers understand client expectations.

- Worker referrals.
- Existing domestic worker networks.
- Maid agents.

- Previous workers.
- Worker recommendations.
