Travelling PA – Europe/UK/Dubai

We are delighted to be working with a returning UHNW British client whose primary residence is in Emirates Hills, Dubai but who spends significant time in the UK and Europe, especially over the summer months. We have recently placed a PA in the team, and we are now hiring a 2nd PA to work alongside her.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a highly experienced, polished professional to step into a pivotal role at the heart of a dynamic and fast-paced private household. The successful candidate will serve as the Principal’s most trusted professional confidante, managing a broad and varied remit with absolute discretion, precision, and calm authority.

Working in close daily partnership with the Principal, another PA, an Estate Manager, and a Chief of Staff, you will oversee all personal and professional administrative requirements, coordinating seamlessly with a wider team of household professionals – including housekeepers, nannies, drivers, butlers, and a private chef – to ensure the household operates with the highest level of efficiency and grace. The role demands a proactive, solutions-focused individual who is equally at ease managing complex international travel logistics as they are handling sensitive personal matters.

You will be employed on a UAE contract, so you will receive a tax-free salary, and when in Dubai, you will organise your own accommodation. When you travel with the family or spend time outside of Dubai, accommodation is provided and you earn an additional $50 per day.

Candidates must hold a valid EU or UK passport. The family are currently in the UK and will be in Europe for the summer, so the role will start off being based there, with the plan to move back to Dubai at the end of the summer.

It is important that you have worked supporting a female Principal before and are busy, very busy, fast-paced households. The family have 4 children.
