We are seeking a highly capable and emotionally intelligent Personal Assistant to support the principal of an established and highly respected private family office based in Central London. The principal is a highly successful entrepreneur involved across global investment and philanthropic ventures, and this is a fantastic opportunity for a high-level PA or EA looking for a long-term role within a warm, down-to-earth and family-first environment. The role will provide predominantly private support to the principal and wider family, alongside selected family office and business-related responsibilities. It requires someone highly organised, discreet and proactive, with strong judgement, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage a varied and fast-moving workload with calm efficiency. The successful candidate will be confident operating at a senior level, liaising seamlessly with advisors, stakeholders and external contacts, whilst also remaining hands-on and service-oriented in their day-to-day approach. This role would suit someone who enjoys becoming truly embedded within a principal’s life and values building long-term, trusted relationships. The family office has a collaborative, respectful and low-ego culture. Whilst communication styles are professional and formal, the environment itself is not highly corporate, instead valuing intelligence, adaptability, warmth and professionalism. The role offers genuine variety, from complex diary and travel coordination to interesting research tasks, personal administration and family logistics. The successful candidate will work closely with the principal and wider support team from the family’s Central London offices Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm. Given the nature of the role, some flexibility and responsiveness outside of core hours will be required, particularly during busy periods, while travelling, or simply to acknowledge urgent messages when needed.
