We are a pair of busy executives in North London looking for a proactive, organised and experienced Private Household Personal Assistant to help keep our personal and household lives running smoothly.
This is a live-out, part-time freelance role that combines practical hands-on support (errands, household coordination, small projects) with more “behind-the-scenes” organisation (systems, life admin, research). It would suit someone who genuinely enjoys both getting things done and putting structure around chaos.

* Contract type: Part-time, self-employed freelance
* Hours: 16 hours per week, spread flexibly across the week
* Rate: £20 per hour
* Location: North London household + remote work
* Experience: Minimum 2+ years’ experience in a private household PA or similar high-trust role
* Driving: Must have a full UK driving licence

Role Overview
You will support two executives with a mix of household, lifestyle and light executive support, ensuring that day-to-day life runs smoothly, deadlines are met, and the “mental load” of everyday tasks is taken off their plate.
This is an ideal role for someone who:
* Thrives on variety and can handle weeks that sometimes feel very calm and other times very busy
* Enjoys setting up simple, repeatable systems (lists, calendars, spreadsheets, processes) rather than firefighting the same problems repeatedly
* Takes pride in delivering a level of service that feels thoughtful, organised and one step ahead
A background or interest in arts, creative industries or business is a bonus, as some of the work touches on studio, creative and project-based environments.

4. Vendors, projects & light admin
* Liaise with external vendors and service providers, from tradespeople to cleaners to specialist suppliers
* Coordinate small projects (for example, setting up a new service, organising a minor refurbishment, or arranging a move/installation)
* Track simple details such as dates, bookings, quotes and receipts in an orderly way
5. Research, hospitality & gifting
* Research and compare options for services, venues, products, gifts or travel when requested, and share clear shortlists
* Arrange flowers, gifts and hospitality for guests, collaborators, friends and family, reflecting the household’s style and standards
