We have taken in a fabulous new opportunity for a budding PA to work for an UHNW couple predominantly in the middle east but also in the UK too.
The main responsibility of the PA will be to ensure that all global properties are run efficiently and set up appropriately for the client’s arrival/departure. This will include managing household staff in the Middle East and ensuring all households are run in a similar formulaic manner. They are also keen for the PA to assist with hiring housekeeping staff for their UK residences and to manage them accordingly, since these properties are not currently staffed.
Core duties and responsibilities include (but not exclusive to):
- House Management – liaising with the property management company in the UK to ensure the houses are in the right order/suitably maintained for the client’s arrival etc. Not to mention hiring and managing staff
- Traditional PA duties for the female principal including travel itineraries, making reservations, diary management, managing expenses/accounts, booking appointments etc
- Travelling with the client between the Middle East and UK (London and country – southeast England)
- Coordinating up and coming events for the clients
The couple do not have children but do have two large dogs so the candidate will have to be comfortable with this.
This is a PA role for the female principal, and it is really important to her that you are able to strike up a fantastic rapport early on and understand the standards required to fulfil her needs. Flexibility is paramount in this position not to mention being a keen problem solver and thinking on your feet when needed.
The principles are rather particular with how they like things run, however once you have gained their trust you should have a fare amount of autonomy over the households and your daily schedule.
