Job description

We are looking for a proactive and organised Office / Property Assistant to join a private office within a hedge fund in Central London.

This can be an immediate-start opportunity and would suit someone who is available now and looking to temp for a minimum of 6 months, with the potential to go permanent for the right person. We are also considering candidates looking for a permanent position, so if you are interested in a straight permanent role and are currently on notice.

The role will involve supporting the day-to-day management of a portfolio of residential and investment properties, working closely with the Property Directors and assisting with both administration and general property oversight. We are looking for someone with 1–2 years’ relevant experience who is keen to develop their skills within property management or private office administration.

• Maintain property-related files including warranties and utility accounts
• Handle invoice processing, expense tracking, and budget assistance
• Liaise with service providers and support household staff with professionalism and discretion
• Assist with seasonal preparations, property openings/closings
• Conduct occasional site visits to inspect property conditions and ensure standards are upheld

The ideal candidate will have 1–2 years’ relevant experience.

Discretion and confidentiality are essential. The client is also looking for strong academic credentials, including a minimum 2:1 degree from a top 200 global university and a minimum of ABB at A-Level or equivalent.

This is a great opportunity to gain experience within a private office, working across a varied property portfolio with plenty of opportunity to learn and develop.
