For international families, language is everything. EED places bilingual and multilingual personal assistants with VIP, celebrity and UHNW households — experienced PAs who bring both linguistic capability and the discretion required at the highest level of private service.

A PA who operates fluently in the principal’s first language provides a level of trust and nuance that is simply not possible through translation. EED’s bilingual PA candidates are not simply linguistically capable — they understand the cultural expectations that come with the role.

Languages We Place

Arabic / English

Particularly in demand for GCC-based families and those with London and Dubai operations. EED regularly places Arabic-English bilingual PAs with high-profile families across the region.

French / English

Popular among London families and those with properties in France, Monaco and Switzerland. Ideal for managing French-speaking staff, contractors and household affairs.

Russian / English

EED regularly places Russian-English bilingual PAs for families whose principal language is Russian — handling correspondence, household affairs and vendor relationships with total understanding.

Mandarin / English

In growing demand from international families based in London and the GCC. Mandarin-English bilingual PAs command a premium reflecting the small candidate pool at the required level.

Also available: Italian / English · Spanish / English · German / English · other combinations on request. Contact EED to discuss availability in your required language combination.

What a Bilingual PA Does

A bilingual PA handles all standard private PA responsibilities — diary management, correspondence, travel coordination, household liaison and personal affairs — but does so across two or more languages. This may mean drafting correspondence in Arabic, managing a Paris property in French, handling school communications in Russian or coordinating with household staff across multiple languages simultaneously.

The best bilingual PAs are not simply translating — they are operating natively in both cultural and linguistic contexts, providing the principal with a seamless experience regardless of language.

Salary range: Bilingual PAs command a premium over monolingual candidates. Salaries in London typically range from £45,000–£70,000 net, with Arabic and Mandarin combinations at the higher end of the market.
