Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom 19 London Full time

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Private and Business Assistant to join a highly established and respected UHNW single-family office in Kensington.

You will be highly organised, able to multitask, and capable of working to deadlines. The role would suit a hardworking, diligent, dedicated PA who takes great pride in their work.
