PRIVATE PERSONAL ASSISTANT FOR LARGE FAMILY ESTATE IN OXFORDSHIRE
We are looking a dynamic, hands-on and high energy Personal Assistant for a large family country estate based in Oxfordshire. This is an involved role for a professional family of five, mainly supporting the Principals and the household with all private matters and overseeing the domestic staffing team. This is not a new role, but it is an opportunity which will give the successful candidate scope to put their own stamp on processes and to make the role their own.
The Principal is a highly regarded financier and you will work closely with the Principal’s London based Executive Assistant, liaising on diary management and travel. At the estate your main priority will be to support the Principal and his wife and you will become an extension of their private endeavors; overseeing personal diary and making all personal bookings, supporting with the organisation of events, overseeing contractors, project management in regards to interior and building projects, family travel planning and schools/university administration.
As Private PA you will be responsible for personnel matters for the household team and the go-to person for administrative and HR matters; this will cover rotas, household expenses and petty cash, time off and so on. You will oversee security systems and maintenance issues and you will roll out staff household procedures across the family’s multiple residences for when they travel, namely to Cornwall, the Caribbean and globally.
There is a lovely family dynamic, with three older children away in London, at university and at school. The family are extremely active and sporty, so organising activities and making sure all are catered for is paramount. The estate is host to many private and public events, small to large scale, so you will be highly organised, calm under pressure and entirely flexible!
This role can be daily for local candidates, or live-in with a variety of accommodation options on the estate available for you. Should you opt for live-in, your rent and council tax will be covered, with just utilities to pay.
The salary on offer is open for the right person and the family are open and are looking for long-term candidates who will offer loyalty and dedication within their role.
If this sounds like the right role for you, then please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
Please note that candidates with relevant experience and excellent, checkable references need only apply.
