Admin, secretarial and PA careers can be surprisingly diverse, paving the way for a broad range of rewarding (and potentially lucrative) job opportunities.

Careers in Admin

Entry-level careers in admin can quickly open the door to leadership-level promotion, for those who demonstrate genuine ambition and aptitude.  Careers in admin, secretarial, and PA roles call for a broad and diverse range of skills and personal traits.  You need to be a naturally outgoing and confident individual, with an engaging personality and a positive attitude. Self-management skills are also essential, as you will be required to manage your own workload and schedule with pinpoint precision. The higher you climb as an executive secretary or PA, the greater the level of responsibility you take on.

Salaries vary on the basis of location, experience, seniority, and the sector you choose to work in.  Those who pursue an administrative assistant career path can expect to earn between £18,000 and £25,000 per year, handling day-to-day tasks like record keeping, data entry, and customer service.  An executive office administration career path could pave the way for salaries from £30,000 to £60,000 per year, while PAs who support high-level managers and executives can earn anything from £20,000 to £50,000.  Executive assistants and PAs often receive a broad range of additional benefits, such as free travel, expense accounts, company cars, and more.
