Behind every manager or company director, you’ll find an organised, efficient personal assistant. Discover what this varied and dynamic career has to offer

As a personal assistant (PA) you’ll work closely with senior managerial or directorial staff to provide administrative support, usually on a one-to-one basis. You’ll help a manager to make the best use of their time by dealing with secretarial and administrative tasks.

PAs need extensive knowledge of the organisation in which they work. You’ll need to know who key personnel are, both external and internal, and understand the organisation’s aims and objectives.

Managers often rely heavily on their PA, trusting that work will be handled efficiently in their absence. Discretion and confidentiality are therefore essential attributes of a successful PA.

A personal assistant is sometimes called an executive secretary, as well as a personal or private secretary.
