An opportunity has arisen for a highly organised, proactive and discreet Part-Time Private Personal Assistant to provide dedicated personal support to a Principal based in Kent.

This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who is organised, resourceful and happy to assist with a broad range of personal tasks. The successful candidate will help keep the Principal’s day-to-day personal affairs running smoothly, from managing appointments and travel arrangements to coordinating events, gifting and household matters.

The role will involve a combination of remote working and working from the Principal’s property in Kent, depending on the tasks and requirements.

The Principal has an Executive Assistant who supports the business side of their affairs, and there may be some liaison between the two roles. However, this position will focus primarily on personal assistance.

The ideal candidate will be trustworthy, loyal and adaptable, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities and take ownership of tasks.

  Managing personal correspondence and enquiries in a timely and professional manner
• Personal Errands & Gifting:
  Handling personal errands, including purchasing gifts, organising returns and coordinating deliveries
• Events & Family Logistics:
  Assisting with the organisation of private events and supporting wider family logistics as required
• Property & Service Providers:
  Liaising with external service providers and coordinating property maintenance, appointments and related arrangements
• Day-to-Day Personal Support:
  Preparing for upcoming commitments, keeping track of outstanding tasks and providing general assistance across a broad range of personal matters

Candidate Requirements

• Previous experience in a Personal Assistant or similar support role
• Highly organised, proactive and able to manage multiple tasks efficiently
• Discreet, trustworthy and committed, with a strong sense of loyalty
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to anticipate needs and work independently
• Flexible and adaptable, with a hands-on approach to a varied workload
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• German language skills would be advantageous but are not essential

Additional Information
This is a part-time opportunity requiring 1–2 full days per week, with working days and hours to be confirmed. The role will operate on a hybrid basis, with some duties carried out remotely and others undertaken at the Principal’s property in Kent, as required.

An hourly rate will be offered, dependent on experience.
