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
