London PAs’ pay highest in profession

PAs in London are the highest earners within the profession, new research reveals.

The findings, from administrative recruiter OfficeTeam, found that PAs in London, who have over five years experience can earn £10,000 more than PAs in Edinburgh, who earn an average of £22,000 per year.

Rebecca Parnell, regional manager at OfficeTeam, said: “The role of the PA has seen significant changes over the past few years, with bosses becoming more reliant on their keen organisation skills and ability to handle multiple priorities, more so than ever in today’s current economic climate. The strong demand for skilled PAs means employers are offering competitive salaries to attract talented workers.”
