Private pa: where pythagoras meets piano practice

London
TALENTSMITHS
Personal assistant
£60,000 - £65,000 a year
Posted: 21 September
Offer description

We're hiring a Private PA with range. Someone who knows a family isn't a calendar; it's three young lives moving in concert while their parents run businesses.

Most Private PA ads are vague because every family is different. This one is even more so.

Here's the picture.

Three school-aged children. Three clashing timetables. Three sets of dreams, activities, and homework deadlines.

Two UHNW entrepreneur parents who expect the home to run as smoothly as the office.

You won't teach Pythagoras; the Governess and tutors have that. You will make sure the child learning Pythagoras gets to the lesson, the sibling reaches football, and the third finishes piano, all in time for dinner.

What you'll do (but please note this is not exhaustive)

* Orchestrate school dates, parents' evenings, sports days, and recitals.
* Manage after-school activities, track assignments, and liaise with tutors.
* Organise educational trips and keep paperwork, report cards, and permissions tidy.
* Run household logistics, from scheduling tutors and housekeepers to booking services and dealing with insurers or auction houses when needed.
* Work alongside the Business Assistant, splitting time between office and home, joining projects that span business and private life.
* Keep the day calm, efficient, and human.

What you've done

* Managed this level of complexity for a UHNW family.
* Juggled multiple children's schedules where "normal" does not apply.
* Anticipate clashes before they happen and have quiet plans B and C in place.
* Communicated crisply with parents, schools, and specialists, without drama.
* Used good judgment, absolute discretion, and sensible boundaries.

Why this role

This isn't logistics for its own sake. These small humans are the family's most important project. Missed piano lessons and forgotten PE kits matter as much as board meetings because they shape childhood.

Your work creates space for parents to be present when it counts.

The family

They're grounded. They travel during school holidays. They balance demanding work with private life and keep the family's well-being at the centre. They're fair, reasonable, and approachable, which makes the work satisfying.

And could there be a better time to be recruiting a role like this, just as the new School Year starts?
