A terrific opportunity has become available for a professional and enthusiastic Chinese-speaking Family Assistant to support a HNW family of four in their London home. Still new to London, the family are looking to employ a Family Assistant with an adaptable and flexible nature, as well as excellent communication skills – it’s imperative that the successful candidate speaks fluent Chinese as well as English.

Ideally suited to a recent graduate who is keen to establish themselves in the private sector, the role requires an organised candidate with a strong eye for detail.

The Family Assistant will be tech-savvy, switched on and able to work on the go, having brilliant administrative skills. A driving license is highly desirable, though it is not a deal breaker. Ideally, candidates will already be based in London and have the right to live and work in the UK, however, the family would also be willing to provide sponsorship for the ideal candidate.
Usual working hours would be from Monday to Friday from 9am-6pm, but flexibility will be required as some of the family’s exact schedules aren’t in place yet. There are no pets at the home.
