Temporary EA/PAs
Purely PA provide tried and tested Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants across the UK and nationwide. Our temporary PA and EA candidates are fully referenced, and our rigorous vetting process ensures we select only from the top 5% of the London market. Many of our clients request the same Personal Assistant time and time again, and wherever possible we are pleased to provide that continuity and familiarity.
We operate a fast turnaround and, once a brief has been taken, can often have a candidate in your office within the hour. All our Personal Assistants are highly experienced and accustomed to being parachuted into new environments, enabling them to integrate quickly and add value from day one. This ensures you have an effective, reliable resource precisely when you need it.
Whether you require short-term cover, ongoing temporary support or immediate assistance during busy periods, we tailor each placement to suit your specific requirements. We provide both corporate and private Personal Assistants, carefully matched not only on skills and experience, but also on working style and personality, ensuring a seamless fit for your business or household.

Testimonials from Our Clients
I cannot recommend Purely PA enough. As the famous Jerry Maguire quote states, “you got me at hello”! From the initial phone enquiry to the final after-sales call, this was the most delightful recruitment experience I have ever had. Appointing a new member of staff is a stressful exercise for anyone, but Purely PA led me through the process with ease, calm, clear direction, and great attention to detail and follow-through. Their network is extensive, and they are resourceful, insightful, and genuinely take the time to understand your business and the role. Acting as true matchmakers, they bring client and candidate together in a seamless and considered way. They found us the perfect executive assistant, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.
