Private PA & Household / Family Assistant

Private PA & Household / Family Assistant
Location: Hampstead, London
Salary: £50,000 per annum
Hours: Full-time, Monday–Friday
Driving Licence: Essential

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced, highly capable and adaptable Private PA & Household / Family Assistant to support a successful businessman and his family in Hampstead, London.
This is a genuinely varied role that combines private business support, household administration, errands, food preparation, light housekeeping and after-school childcare. No two days will necessarily look the same, so we are looking for someone who is naturally organised, proactive and hands-on, and who is equally comfortable managing a busy diary as they are preparing lunch or collecting a child from school.
The successful candidate will become a trusted and valued member of the household, providing seamless support across both the professional and personal sides of the family's day-to-day life.

Key Responsibilities
Private PA / Business Support
Approximately 2–3 hours of the working day will be focused on business and personal PA
responsibilities, including:

• Managing busy diaries, appointments and schedules
• Coordinating meetings and making travel arrangements
• Organising domestic and business travel
• Managing emails, correspondence and general administration
• Booking restaurants, appointments and other personal commitments
• Researching and arranging services, bookings and activities
• Managing day-to-day tasks and ensuring deadlines are met
• Running personal and business-related errands
• Acting as a reliable point of contact and anticipating requirements
• Providing general administrative support as required

Household Support
The role will also involve helping to ensure the household runs smoothly, including:

• Managing household administration and appointments
• Liaising with tradespeople, suppliers and service providers
• Running household errands and completing shopping
• Receiving deliveries and organising household items
• Preparing lunch, snacks and simple food for the family
• Keeping on top of day-to-day household tasks
• Light cleaning and tidying where required
• Helping with laundry and general household organisation as needed

Childcare / Family Support
Once their child finishes school, responsibilities will transition into family and childcare support, including:

• School collection and transportation
• Preparing snacks and meals
• Helping with homework and school-related activities
• Taking the child to clubs, activities and appointments
• Organising appropriate activities
• Supporting the child's evening routine
• Ensuring the child's safety and wellbeing at all times
• Communicating with parents regarding the child's day and any relevant updates

About You
This role would suit someone who enjoys being busy, hands-on and incredibly organised, and who genuinely likes variety.

You will need to be comfortable moving between professional PA responsibilities and practical household/family tasks without hesitation.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience in a Private PA, Family Assistant, Household Manager, Nanny/PA or similar varied support role
• Experience supporting a high-net-worth individual, family or busy private household would be advantageous
• Previous experience with school children
• A full, clean UK driving licence
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills
• Strong attention to detail
• A proactive, "see it and sort it" approach
• Excellent communication skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities calmly and efficiently
• A warm, professional and trustworthy manner
• Discretion and absolute confidentiality
• Confidence dealing with suppliers, tradespeople and external contacts
• The flexibility and willingness to get involved in all aspects of the role
• A practical, hands-on approach and no hesitation when it comes to errands, food preparation, light cleaning or childcare

The Right Personality
This is not a traditional 9–5 PA role, nor is it a traditional nanny or housekeeping position.
We are looking for someone who is exceptionally adaptable and genuinely enjoys being the person who makes life easier.

You may spend the morning arranging international travel and managing a diary, prepare lunch, collect the child from school in the afternoon, run an errand and organise a household appointment, all within the same day.

The successful candidate will be discreet, dependable, energetic, resourceful and highly organised, with the confidence to take ownership and get things done without needing constant direction.

What’s on Offer

• £50,000 per annum
• Full-time, Monday–Friday position
• Varied role with significant autonomy
• Long-term opportunity within a private household
• Opportunity to become a trusted and integral part of the family’s day-to-day life
