Private Family PA/Part Time

A private family based in Chelsea/Belgravia borders is seeking a professional and experienced part time Private PA ((languages a bonus but not essential).  Based in an office in the family home the role will require someone who can deal with complex domestic arrangements for the family - household/travel/schools. The key part to the role will involve working alongside the Principal of the family office to help coordinate the portfolio for the family as well as deal with some of the bookkeeping and preparing information for the accountant and submitting payment details and make complex transactions across varied bank accounts. Another project will be helping with a nearby property renovation which is a huge project that is being undertaken so you will have some involvement in this. This role will require a candidate who has good experience at senior level possibly within financial services or in a boutique family office and can work fast and efficiently often under pressure.

As Private PA the ideal person should have excellent written and communication skills and immaculate presentation as well as be a born organiser. The day to day work will be in English so mother tongue  would be preferable but as there is some liaison with overseas household staff so if you have French/Spanish that would help but it is not essential. If you are a professional PA who has been used to working at senior level and have excellent IT skills and are a self-starter with bags of initiative this is a great role. You must be happy working as part of a small team (the Principal and his wife) and on your own on occasion. The key criteria is that you must be able to deliver a high level of PA support often under pressure but also be prepared when the family are away to be on your own.You must be prepared to work for four hours over five days probably 9.30-1.30pm if preferred and you must be able to commit to these hours.

This is a charming, friendly and professional family who rely on their PA to not only provide high levels of discreet support but also be part of the 'team' and in return for delivering highly professional and discreet support you will be highly valued and looked after by the family.

When applying please confirm current salary, notice period, that you can commit to the hours specified and also the languages you speak and to what level and we will get back to those individuals that fit the requirements as specified within the advert.
