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.

Role Overview3>

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
