Location: Primarily based in London, with frequent international travel (Europe, Middle East, US)
Schedule: Full-time with high flexibility — weekends and travel as needed
Contract Type: Permanent, live-out
Salary: £80,000–£95,000 gross per annum, negotiable DOE

Position Overview:
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a seasoned, emotionally intelligent Private Personal Assistant to support a globally mobile UHNW family with residences in London, the South of France, and the UAE. This is not your standard PA role — it’s a high-touch, high-trust position requiring total discretion, faultless organisation, and an eye for detail that borders on obsessive.
You’ll be the behind-the-scenes magic-maker who ensures your Principals’ days run effortlessly — whether they’re hopping between villas in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, boarding a private jet from Farnborough, or entertaining guests in their Knightsbridge residence.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in high-pressure environments, anticipates needs before they arise, and delights in executing with excellence. Travel will be frequent and sometimes spontaneous, so flexibility is key.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Full management of the Principals’ complex travel itineraries, including private aviation, ground transport, visas, accommodation, and bespoke experiences in each destination.
-
Oversee personal shopping, gifting, wardrobe management, and seasonal closet rotations across multiple properties.
-
Manage a constantly shifting calendar across multiple time zones, coordinating private appointments, family events, and social commitments.
-
Act as gatekeeper and liaison between the family and vendors, household staff, external advisors, and security teams.
-
Travel in advance of the Principals when required to ensure properties are guest-ready and that everything from fresh flowers to the correct toothpaste is in place.
-
Maintain a detailed database of preferences, sizing, VIP contacts, gifting history, and travel notes.
-
Source rare or hard-to-find luxury items with tact and discretion.
-
Assist with planning and overseeing private events, dinners, and holidays, working alongside in-house and external teams.
Candidate Profile:
-
Minimum 5 years’ experience as a Private PA to UHNW individuals or families with global travel involved.
-
London-based, with existing right to work in the UK.
-
Unflappable, discreet, and polished — you understand service culture and know how to operate in rarefied environments without drawing attention.
-
Outstanding organisational skills and ability to juggle competing priorities across time zones.
-
Excellent taste and sensibility for aesthetics, etiquette, and luxury lifestyle management.
-
Skilled in using tech tools to organise logistics and communicate clearly while on the move (Google Suite, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.).
-
Fluent English essential; French or Arabic highly desirable.
-
Willingness to travel extensively, sometimes with little notice.
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to step into a role of genuine impact within the daily lives of an accomplished family who value loyalty, precision, and excellence. You’ll work at the highest level of private service, collaborating with a wider ecosystem of household and corporate professionals, all committed to making things run smoothly.
