Temporary roles

RMS Recruitment places skilled professionals in a wide range of temporary roles across London. From Executive Assistants and PAs to Office Managers and Receptionists, every position plays an important part in helping businesses run efficiently. Temporary work offers flexibility, variety and the chance to gain valuable experience across different industries. Explore the roles below to see where your skills and ambitions could take you.

Temp EAs London

Temp & Contract Executive Assistant roles London.

Executive Assistants (EAs) are at the heart of senior leadership teams, keeping everything running smoothly and helping executives perform at their best. In temporary roles, they often step into busy London offices at short notice, bringing structure, calm and confidence from day one. An EA’s work goes far beyond administration. They manage complex diaries, arrange meetings, prepare documents, handle communications, and make sure their executive is always one step ahead.

How temp EAs support senior leadership

Temporary EAs are trusted to take charge quickly and keep things on track. They bring a professional, organised approach that allows senior leaders to focus on strategy while they handle the detail. Day to day, this can include:

  • Managing diaries and travel arrangements across multiple time zones
  • Preparing reports, presentations and meeting packs
  • Liaising with key stakeholders and clients
  • Supporting major projects and following up on actions
  • Protecting confidentiality and maintaining professional standards

The difference between an EA and a PA

While the two roles share similarities, an Executive Assistant typically operates at a higher strategic level.

  • Executive Assistants often work directly with board members, founders or senior executives, handling complex decisions and business priorities.
  • Personal Assistants usually focus more on individual support, personal admin and the daily flow of office life.

For temp positions, EAs are frequently placed in board-level or C-suite environments where they need to make an impact immediately.

Traits of a great temp EA

The best temporary EAs share certain qualities that help them succeed wherever they go:

  • Adaptable – quick to adjust to new teams, systems and industries
  • Organised – able to balance competing deadlines and priorities
  • Confident – comfortable working closely with senior figures
  • Professional – discreet, reliable and composed under pressure
  • Proactive – always thinking ahead and solving problems before they arise

How RMS works with temp EAs

At RMS Recruitment, we have spent over two decades building relationships with London’s top executives and their support teams. We understand exactly what clients expect from a high-calibre Executive Assistant and how to match the right person to the right role.

When you register as a temp EA with RMS, we:

  • Learn about your background, experience and preferred working style
  • Understand which industries or executive personalities you fit best with
  • Match you to assignments where you can make an immediate impact
  • Provide full briefings so you arrive confident and prepared

Many of our temporary EAs support CEOs, partners and founders during busy or transitional periods such as project launches, maternity cover or organisational change. Our clients trust RMS to deliver exceptional temporary EAs who can maintain stability and momentum at senior level.

Temp Private PAs London

Temp & Contract Private PA roles in London.

A temp Personal Assistant (PA) plays an essential part in keeping both personal and professional lives running smoothly. In temporary positions, PAs often step in to support executives, entrepreneurs or families at short notice, managing everything from diaries and travel to personal errands and household coordination. It is a role that requires trust, flexibility and a calm, organised approach.

How temp PAs make a difference

Temporary PAs are known for their ability to adapt quickly and deliver high standards from the moment they arrive. No two days are ever the same, and that variety is what makes the role so rewarding. A temp PA may be:

  • Managing diaries, emails and appointments for senior professionals or private clients
  • Organising travel, accommodation and event arrangements
  • Handling expenses, invoices and general administration
  • Supporting household or office management, including staff coordination
  • Maintaining complete discretion and professionalism at all times

In London’s fast-paced market, temporary PAs are valued for their ability to blend into new environments and provide dependable support when it matters most.

The difference between a corporate PA and a private PA

Although both roles demand organisation and professionalism, the focus and setting can be very different.

  • Corporate PAs support executives or teams within a company, focusing on business operations, meetings and project coordination.
  • Private PAs manage the personal, family and household affairs of high-net-worth individuals, ensuring every detail of daily life runs seamlessly.

For temporary placements, the ability to move between these two worlds is a major advantage. Many temp PAs enjoy the opportunity to experience both, gaining insight into different lifestyles and working styles across London.

Traits of a great temp PA

The best temporary PAs combine professionalism with intuition and warmth. They are:

  • Organised – capable of managing complex schedules and multiple priorities
  • Discreet – trusted with sensitive information and private matters
  • Adaptable – quick to fit into new teams, households or offices
  • Professional – polished in communication, manner and appearance
  • Dependable – reliable, steady and able to take initiative when needed

These are the qualities that make a temporary PA truly indispensable to the people they support.

  • Identify the types of clients and households that best match your skills
  • Prepare you with insight into each role so you arrive ready to make an impact
  • Offer ongoing support throughout your assignment to help you settle in smoothly

Many of our temporary PAs go on to secure long-term or permanent roles through RMS, while others choose to continue temping for the flexibility and variety it offers. Whatever your goals, we will help you find rewarding opportunities that suit your style and ambitions.

  • Virtual Assistants operate remotely, using digital tools to stay connected and manage tasks online.
  • Executive Assistants work in-office, providing face-to-face support and managing on-site logistics.
