PA recruitment agency listing
A Personal Assistant generally provides administrative and secretarial support to a Manager or Director, which can entail a wide range of important duties. From organising schedules, to answering calls and emails, or creating spreadsheets and writing company letters, the modern PA must have many skills in order to be effective.
The recruitment agencies listed on this page possess specialist knowledge of the PA jobs market, and are well equipped to marry the right people to the right vacancies. Often considered an essential role within the modern business or government department, there is always a demand for good PA staff.
As with many jobs, a high level of experience makes a PA more employable. A diverse range of skills that have been acquired in a number of different positions are likely to be beneficial when applying for a PA position, and could be enough to land a given job even without relevant qualifications.
Qualifications and salaries
Recognised qualifications are also helpful, such as degrees in Business Management or certificates in Secretarial Studies. Good grades in English and Maths will also go down well with a prospective employer.
Salaries for Personal Assistants can vary, but range from £20,000 to £25,000. In high level corporate environments, this figure could go up considerably further.
