Before you spend time completing the application form, we would like to bring the following points to your attention:

All our clients require their PA's to drive - it is essential therefore that you have a current driving licence for manual and automatic vehicles which is valid in the UK/EC. A provisional driving licence is not enough. NB - you do not need your own vehicle.
For various reasons (including motor insurance and the issue of companionship), our clients prefer their PA's to be aged 21-40*

You must be able to work legally in the UK (e.g. by virtue of being a UK/EC citizen, having a Working Holiday Visa, UK Ancestry Visa, be on the BUNAC programme etc). A student visa is not sufficient. If you are not sure you can work legally in the UK, please contact your nearest British Embassy/High Commission for information. As an employment agency, ORIGIN cannot obtain work permits on your behalf.

You must be available to work for a minimum available commitment of 4 months made up of placements usually lasting 7 - 14 days with time off in between. Of course, we hope you will stay with ORIGIN a great deal longer than this.

Registration is free of charge.

For further clarification regarding job description requirements please telephone 020 7617 7894

Many thanks
