When employing a personal assistant, individual employers often look for someone who is a good personal fit. It’s not always about previous experience and qualifications – what’s really important is that you have the right values and skills to do the job. Anyone can be a personal assistant as long as they:
-
enjoy helping people to live their life in the way that they choose
-
would like to support others to make a real change to their life
-
are comfortable working on their own or with other personal assistants as part
of a team
-
have the ability to develop a strong, trusting relationship with their employer
-
understand that they are an employee and not a friend
-
understand that they do not direct the work, but that their employer does
