Richard Branson Is Looking For A PA To Move To His Private Island

Fancy living on Branson’s private Necker Island?

The Caribbean peninsula is a popular holiday spot for celebs like Oprah, Mariah Carey, David Beckham and even the Obamas. It'd usually cost you over 30 grand a NIGHT to rent the whole island, or around £20k A WEEK to book a villa. (And we thought London prices were high!)

But you could actually be PAID to live there if you apply for this potential opportunity of a lifetime...

An ad has popped up on LinkedIn stating that ‘General Manager Keny Jones is looking for a new PA to combine with Richard Branson’s office, who are looking for a new admin assistant. One person to help look after both offices!’

Wondering if you fit the role? Well they’re ‘looking for someone with fantastic admin and organisational skills as well as practical experience in a busy office.

‘But your personality is just as important. As well as being a top notch administrator, we’re also looking for someone who is self-motivated, outgoing and enthusiastic who can balance this with the essential need for discretion and confidentiality.’

Day to day your main responsibilities would be ‘diary and email management, general correspondence, filing and archiving, booking travel and providing cover for Richard’s PA when they're on holiday, amongst a whole host of other admin-related tasks. It’s a busy role in two even busier offices so think carefully as it’s not for everyone (despite the sunshine).’

You also have to be ready to abandon your life in this frozen tundra calling itself the UK to move to a life of sun, sand and sea on Necker Island (it's a tough one!)

To apply you need to email your CV and a video of yourself to iwanttobeyourpaaa@virgin.com. They instruct that ‘The video should be no longer than two minutes and should include important information like why you want the job, an interesting fact about you and your unique skills and experience that would make you perfect for this role.’

If you’re you tick every box and you’re ready to give this grey public island up, the closing date for applications is March 10th 2018 so be quick about it!
