How it works

How to become an Amici Host

  • 1. Tell us about you

    Register your interest in just 30 seconds. We’ll be in touch within 24 hours to find out more about you. And together we’ll decide whether hosting is a good fit for you and your household right now.

  • 2. Meet your guest

    Before you’re matched with a guest they’re known to our partners for six months. And we personally have spent six weeks background-checking, assessing and getting to know them. Once a match is made, we all meet up so you can get to know each other over a cuppa. And decide whether it’s a good fit.

  • 3. Gain new skills

    You’ll get three hours of training in our unique strengths-based approach. This training helps to guide weekly catch-ups with your guest. You’ll learn valuable communication skills that help you inspire confidence and bring out the best in people.

  • 4. Get paid

    Standing Tall Tenancy Agreements are for six months. The person you host will pay the monthly fee to you to develop their voting confidence. In the event it that it doesn’t work out, we’re available to and support you and match you with a new guest.
