We are a family of five living in Cobham, Surrey. I run a luxury interior design business working with private clients in the UK and internationally, and I am looking for a Personal Assistant to help me manage the many moving parts of both my work and home life.

My days can be quite varied, with client meetings, design projects, travel and family commitments all happening alongside each other. I am looking for someone who is naturally organised, quick to pick things up and enjoys finding practical solutions when plans change.

The role will have a genuine mix of business and personal responsibilities. You will be involved in everything from arranging meetings and managing my diary to organising family plans, travel and appointments. On the business side, you will also help me stay on top of projects, communicate with clients and suppliers and make sure important details don’t get overlooked.

Key responsibilities

• Managing my daily diary and coordinating appointments
• Organising business and family travel
• Preparing schedules and itineraries
• Keeping track of design projects, deadlines and meetings
• Communicating with clients, suppliers and other contacts
• Assisting with invoices, bookings and general administration
• Organising family appointments and activities
• Helping with occasional events and personal arrangements
• Following up on tasks and making sure outstanding matters are dealt with

I would like to find someone who is comfortable working at a good pace and can use their own initiative. You should be confident communicating with different people, able to handle confidential information and happy to take responsibility for getting things done rather than waiting to be asked.

Experience as a PA or Executive Assistant is important, and experience within a private household, luxury business or client-facing environment would be particularly useful.

The position is based in Cobham and is primarily Monday to Friday. There may occasionally be some flexibility required around travel, events or particularly busy periods, but I am looking for someone who will have a good balance between the professional and personal sides of the role.

This is a varied position with plenty of responsibility, and I would be very happy to hear from someone who enjoys being the person who keeps everything organised and moving forward.
