Raising a Toast to the Working Mums and Dads - We're Getting Through This!
Did your sudden household imprisonment transform your regular ‘not-seeing-enough-of-your-children’ guilt into a plethora of brand new worries and concerns? It certainly did for our working Mums at RMS. But we think it’s time to celebrate everything that us resilient working parents have achieved in these extraordinary, challenging times.

What was your background before working as Executive Assistant at Clive Christian?
After graduating with a 2:1 BSc Hons in Exercise, Nutrition and Health from Oxford Brookes University, I temped for a year before working as an Executive Assistant and Events Co-coordinator at Centaur and Buy Time. These roles helped me to develop my organisational skills and become adept at prioritising and handling multiple deadlines.
What attracted you to working as a PA?
Raising salaries the key to attracting top talent
The number of secretarial jobs in London has spiked in the last year with an increase of 22% but with top candidates hard to come by, the supply can’t keep pace with the demand. Candidates are able to compare the benefits and disadvantages of multiple job offers, allowing them to choose the option that suits them best.
Fashion Designer PA proves Mums can work
We spoke to Meredith who, thanks to RMS Recruitment, earned a top PA job with flexible hours. She was initially unsure if there were the kinds of roles available that would best suit her. Through RMS Recruitment she is now working for a famous Italian Fashion Designer!
Recruitment agencies and the use of social media
Recruitment agencies also have online presences which they can use to advertise vacant positions, highlight their services to potential employers and offer advice and support to potential candidates. RMS Recruitment is no different with active Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts that allow us to post the latest PA and secretarial jobs in London as well as promoting our blog. We are excited to be launching an account on the latest social media craze, Snapchat.
