We are a pair of busy executives in North London looking for a proactive, organised and experienced Private Household Personal Assistant to help keep our personal and household lives running smoothly.

This is a live-out, part-time freelance role that combines practical hands-on support (errands, household coordination, small projects) with more “behind-the-scenes” organisation (systems, life admin, research). It would suit someone who genuinely enjoys both getting things done and putting structure around chaos.

Key Details

• Role: Live-out Private Household Personal Assistant

• Contract type: Part-time, self-employed freelance

• Hours: 16 hours per week, spread flexibly across the week

• Rate: £20 per hour

• Location: North London household + remote work

• Experience: Minimum 2+ years’ experience in a private household PA or similar high-trust role

• Driving: Must have a full UK driving licence

Role Overview

You will support two executives with a mix of household, lifestyle and light executive support, ensuring that day-to-day life runs smoothly, deadlines are met, and the “mental load” of everyday tasks is taken off their plate.

This is an ideal role for someone who:

• Thrives on variety and can handle weeks that sometimes feel very calm and other times very busy

• Enjoys setting up simple, repeatable systems (lists, calendars, spreadsheets, processes) rather than firefighting the same problems repeatedly

• Takes pride in delivering a level of service that feels thoughtful, organised and one step ahead

A background or interest in arts, creative industries or business is a bonus, as some of the work touches on studio, creative and project-based environments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Day-to-day admin & diary support

• Arrange and manage personal appointments and basic diary entries

• Book travel, accommodation, restaurants and events, and confirm the details

• Handle simple office/administrative tasks linked to the principals’ work and personal lives

2. Errands, shopping & household logistics

• Take care of practical tasks such as grocery shopping, returns, dry cleaning, posting parcels, and collecting or delivering items

• Drive for local errands as needed, using sensible routes and planning ahead

• Keep an eye on household/studio supplies and organise top-ups when asked

3. Household & studio coordination

• Help keep household and studio spaces orderly and functional (e.g. organising key areas)

• Arrange and oversee small household fixes or installations (e.g. tradespeople, deliveries, furniture), ensuring work is completed as agreed

• Keep basic notes so it’s easy to see what has been done and what is still outstanding

4. Vendors, projects & light admin

• Liaise with external vendors and service providers, from tradespeople to cleaners to specialist suppliers

• Coordinate small projects (for example, setting up a new service, organising a minor refurbishment, or arranging a move/installation)

• Track simple details such as dates, bookings, quotes and receipts in an orderly way

5. Research, hospitality & gifting

• Research and compare options for services, venues, products, gifts or travel when requested, and share clear shortlists

• Arrange flowers, gifts and hospitality for guests, collaborators, friends and family, reflecting the household’s style and standards

6. General flexibility

• Take on other reasonable duties as requested, occasionally at short notice

• Use good judgement and common sense, asking for guidance where needed but otherwise working independently within agreed boundaries
