What is a Personal Assistant

Personal Assistant roles can be in private households, family organisations or private offices. More often these days some or part of these roles may be done remotely for some part of the working week.

What you need from your Personal Assistant can vary enormously and so we would want to take a detailed job brief from anyone looking to employ someone in this role.

Personal Assistants commonly deal with the following:

  • Diary management
  • Household accounts, business accounts and payroll
  • Contractors and suppliers
  • Booking travel and social arrangements
  • Liaising with housekeeping staff
  • Organising events
  • Answering the telephone and dealing with contacts
  • Writing letters and dealing with emails on your behalf
  • Arranging for your children to be picked up and taken back to school
  • Shopping and present buying

A Personal Assistant may also need to speak a second language, and we also find part time as well as full time staff for this role. Personal Assistants can be situated in your London or other city home, or they can also be for someone to work from a country home where they may also undertake Estate Secretarial duties.

How do I Find a Personal Assistant

Town and Country Domestic Staff recruit Personal Assistants from a variety of backgrounds. Generally speaking PA’s come from a secretarial or administration background, with experience working with Private Clients, and they may also have experience of working in a ‘commercial’ environment.
