Experienced Private PA to support HNW couple in family home

This high profile couple who live in Kensington require an experienced Private PA to support them in all aspects of their private lives.  They are individually business owners and they have exceptionally busy lives that requires someone who is always one step ahead and has a great list of contacts that can be called upon whether it be to organise an event or find a private jet.  They have family members in London and abroad and as such require someone that can coordinate logistics and complex travel arrangements.  You will be based from their home in Kensington 5 days per week and flexibility is key.

The role incorporates:

• Complex diary management for ever changing diaries
• Organising all personal travel and holidays (finding villas/hotels/chalets, flight bookings, transfers, activities etc. for all family members)
• Organising high profile events (e.g. kids or adults birthdays, family parties, weekend trips)
• Handling bills, school fee payments, insurance renewals
• Keeping abreast of school calendars, events and correspondence
• Sourcing and having good knowledge of exclusive, private and luxury resorts/hotels/chalets
• Sourcing gifts for friends and family
• Assisting the housekeepers/nanny with day to day issues
• Booking private jets
• Overseeing/managing their properties in London and Italy
• Keeping up to date with cultural events such as latest gallery openings, new restaurants, fashion events etc

This requires someone incredibly resourceful with a good black book of contacts who could for instance source a top end private chef for a Christmas party, or an innovative florist new to the scene or a unique luxury cake maker.  They are keen to find a PA who is creative with fresh and unique ideas whether it be for a themed children’s birthday party or a weekend trip away. The ideal candidate will be proactive, have great attention to detail, be well presented, calm, a good listener and communicator with a friendly and positive outlook.

They will start the interview process in January with the view to someone starting in late February.
