£70,000 pro rata

A highly regarded Kensington-based family is seeking a professional and proactive Private PA to oversee all administrative and logistical aspects of their household. This is not a role for someone looking to dip their toe in - it requires someone who can take full ownership of the day-to-day operational planning with phenomenal attention to detail.
