PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO UHNW PRINCIPAL – FAMILY OFFICE

We are seeking a confident and highly capable Personal Assistant to support a UHNW Principal within their dynamic Family Office based in Mayfair. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a fast‑paced and supportive environment, providing invaluable personal support to the Principal and their family as part of a strong PA team, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

This role will be highly varied and hands‑on, requiring exceptional organisational skills and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. The successful candidate will take responsibility for managing complex diaries, arranging travel and logistics, coordinating children’s schedules, and ensuring that all personal, social, and family‑related commitments are handled with the utmost care and discretion.

The Principal leads a dynamic lifestyle, and as such, this role suits an adaptable and proactive individual who thrives in environments where no two days are the same. A team mindset will be key, as the PA will work closely with the existing team to provide seamless coverage, collaborate on tasks, and support each other to deliver to the highest standard. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a solutions‑focused approach will be essential, along with the confidence to manage priorities independently when needed.

The role will be office‑based, with core hours of 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday. However, flexibility will be required to occasionally provide support outside of these hours, including some weekends. In return, the successful candidate will receive a generous salary, additional benefits, and an excellent holiday allowance, as well as the opportunity to work as part of a close‑knit and professional team from beautiful offices in the heart of Mayfair.

• Liaising with household staff, external suppliers and service providers as required.
• Providing consistent support as part of a small PA team, ensuring seamless cover and collaboration.

• Minimum of 3‑5 years’ experience as a Personal Assistant, ideally within a family office or private UHNW environment.
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong common sense, with the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively as part of a close‑knit team.
