Overview

A wonderful opportunity for an experienced, adaptable Personal Assistant to join a private office in Gibraltar on a 12-month maternity cover contract, working in person alongside an existing co-PA. This is a hands-on, dynamic role supporting a principal and their family across personal administration, international travel, household coordination, and lifestyle projects.

  • Collaboration & Projects: Work as a dynamic duo alongside the existing co-PA, sharing duties fluidly with a “get involved” team attitude; help plan and execute personal events, family celebrations, and special lifestyle projects.

Requirements

  • Contract: Gibraltar contract, 12-month maternity cover
  • Passport: EU passport holder
  • Languages: Fluent English essential; Spanish desirable
  • Adaptability: Outstanding multitasking skills with the ability to handle last-minute changes, complex requests, and out-of-hours needs calmly.
