Job Description

The Role

A highly respected private family office is seeking an experienced and polished Personal Assistant to provide dedicated, one-to-one support to the Principal's wife. This is a trusted and varied role requiring someone who is naturally organised, intuitive, and capable of managing all aspects of personal administration with confidence and discretion. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day administrative matters, diary management, correspondence, research and forward planning, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. The ability to anticipate needs, pre-empt potential issues and take ownership of tasks from start to finish is essential. This role requires someone who is comfortable working independently, exercising sound judgement and solving problems without the need for constant direction.



Requirements

A background in luxury hospitality, private households or UHNW environments is highly desirable, as the role demands a service-led mindset, exceptional attention to detail and an innate understanding of privacy and professionalism. Maturity, emotional intelligence and discretion are critical, as the role involves handling sensitive information and liaising with trusted external contacts. There will be periods where the role is carried out remotely, so the Personal Assistant must be self-motivated, proactive and able to work effectively from home using their own initiative. This is a long-term opportunity for a capable and dedicated individual who values trust, stability and delivering an exceptional level of personal support within a private family office environment.
