Business/Lifestyle Executive Assistant - #2097033

My new clients, a hugely successful high profile couple within the property world, are looking for an experienced Business/Lifestyle Executive Assistant to run their busy personal and business lives. This is a full-on role for a multitasker who enjoys turning their hand to anything required. The office is in central London with options to work from home for some of the week. Substantial previous experience in a similar role is essential, as is total discretion and the maturity needed to cope with household staff and contractors, as well as business contacts. The role will involve:

• Extensive diary management
• Organising meetings, social and business events
• Travel arrangements and hotel bookings - business and family
• Coordinating children's schedules
• Recruiting household staff
• Administration of several homes
• Any other ad hoc duties

The successful candidate will:

• Be an excellent verbal and written communicator
• Be a real self-starter with strong organisational skills who can be left alone to get on with the job
• Have a flexible attitude and be prepared to turn their hand to anything necessary to ensure everything runs smoothly
• Be socially confident and totally discreet
• Have meticulous attention to detail
• Have extensive previous experience in a similar role

The base hours are 45 but this is not a job for a clock watcher as they are likely to be erratic and you must be prepared to be available at any times within reason.

Only applicants with relevant experience will be considered. I regret that due to the high volume of response to my advertisements I am unable to respond to those CVs I consider unsuitable or to offer individual feedback.

Margaret Mills works only with Equal Opportunity employers and am always keen to receive applications from under-represented groups. I review all CVs and thank everyone for their response.
