We recruit private PAs, private personal assistants, and executive assistants who support complex lifestyles, demanding schedules, and high-profile principals.
What Does a Personal Assistant Do?
A personal assistant provides structured, reliable support across both professional and personal life. In a private household or business setting, the role focuses on organisation, planning, and communication. A PA manages daily tasks, oversees appointments, and ensures priorities remain clear.
Typical responsibilities include diary management, scheduling meetings, handling phone calls, managing correspondence, and coordinating events. Many roles also include personal care, shopping, and acting on behalf of the employer to manage essential tasks.
We recruit for personal assistant jobs across private households, family offices, and senior business environments. Some roles sit within a small team, while others operate as a standalone PA role supporting one individual or family.
Many PA jobs require experience managing complex schedules, balancing professional and personal commitments, and maintaining absolute confidentiality. Roles vary from household-focused positions to senior support for C-suite principals.

Executive Assistant and EA Roles
An executive assistant or EA role involves senior-level support within corporate or private business structures. These roles focus on high level planning, meetings, strategic communication, and liaison across teams.
Executive support often includes managing finance, preparing reports, conducting research, and coordinating across departments. A strong executive assistant brings structure, clarity, and calm to demanding environments. A personal assistant will work best when coordinating with private house managers, private chefs and other household staff. Close working relationships allow for seamless flow in all household duties.
Financial Tasks and Administrative Support
Many personal assistant positions include financial tasks such as expense tracking, invoice management, and supporting household or office finance processes. PAs often assist with booking travel, overseeing pay, and supporting wider administrative needs.
The role requires accuracy, trust, and the ability to maintain control across sensitive information.
