Assistants for family offices, private households and high-net-worth families in Dubai. The role combines executive support with the running of family life: schedules, travel, documents, schools, property matters and the household team. Discretion matters more than speed, so we assess judgment, boundaries and references first, then organisation.
Hire a family office assistantLooking for a job?An assistant the family trusts with private information, who coordinates people and paperwork quietly and keeps problems away from the principals.
A family office assistant is not a licensed role. The risk is trust, so the checks are about behaviour and references, not certificates.
How it differs from neighbouring roles. An executive assistant mostly supports a business role. A personal assistant covers one person's schedule and errands. A family office assistant covers the whole family and its household, with property, schools and staff coordination, and with a higher confidentiality standard. Choose it when the work includes several family members and several household employees; a larger family office may also need a finance or operations manager next to the assistant.
| Level | Salary, AED/month |
|---|---|
| Family office assistant | 12,000 - 20,000 |
| Senior or lead family assistant (travel, staff, property) | 20,000 - 30,000 |
| Package for the very top of the market | negotiated, often above the range |
Market estimate, consistent with our executive assistant figures (12,000 - 20,000; EA to C-level or UHNW family up to 20,000 - 30,000). Languages, family office experience and willingness to travel with the family move the offer to the top of the range.
Besides the salary, the employer covers the work permit and residence visa, medical test, Emirates ID and mandatory health insurance. By UAE law these costs cannot be deducted from the employee's pay.
Exact visa and insurance costs depend on company category, emirate and plan. See the full cost of hiring guide or ask us for a budget for your case.
Market estimate: about 12,000 - 20,000 AED per month for a family office assistant and 20,000 - 30,000 AED for a senior or lead assistant to a high-net-worth family, with travel and staff coordination. Exceptional packages can be above this range.
A personal assistant looks after one person's diary and errands. A family office assistant works for a whole family: several schedules, travel, schools, documents, property and a household team, under strict confidentiality. If you also need pure business support for a director, an executive assistant is the closer role.
