Personal Assistant

Job description / Role

Irwin & Dow are currently recruiting experienced Personal Assistants for a number of Private UHNW clients who value discretion and loyalty above all else. We are seeking crème de la crème support staff of the highest caliber with experience of working specifically in Private Office and Household environments.

The role of Private Executive Assistant is essentially a ‘jack of all trades, capable of moving seamlessly between managing business interests, property interests, household management, complex travel arrangements, budget reports, to the next where you could be personal shopping or researching a private vacation. Adaptability is absolutely key to success in these positions.

The roles are highly fluid; priorities shift continuously; time management and effective organization are key parameters, required to be successful and meet expectations. As a true gatekeeper, you will be aware of everything that is going on at all times, both in a corporate and private capacity.

Candidates act as ambassadors and represent their principles in the best possible manner at all times, always being one step ahead. Natural confidence, efficiency and detail orientation is key, as is the ability to work independently and logically at all times. The role of a Private Executive Assistant involves significant development of trust and accountability. This is achieved over time and our clients are seeking longevity in the roles candidates have had previously. As a candidate, you will be demure, highly trustworthy, respecting the strictest levels of confidentiality at all times. The sole of discretion and integrity, you will be a highly valued member of a very close knit team and will be challenged daily.
