Personal Assistant

A private personal assistant provides day-to-day administrative, secretarial and household support to a principal or family.

What the role covers

Managing diaries, correspondence and appointments.

Arranging travel, events and reservations.

Coordinating with household staff, suppliers and advisers, and keeping household paperwork in order.

Handling confidential personal and financial information with discretion.

How we recruit and vet

Every candidate is interviewed, and we take up references from recent employers directly rather than relying on written letters alone. We check identity and the right to work in the UK, and verify the qualifications and experience a candidate claims.

Because private assistants often handle confidential information, we discuss discretion and confidentiality in depth at interview and, with the candidate's consent, carry out further checks in proportion to the role.
