Family Office Recruitment Specialists
ISE Partners is a leading boutique recruitment consultancy, trusted since 2007 by some of London’s most successful single and multi‑family offices. As experts in family office recruitment, we specialise exclusively in placing high‑calibre business support professionals who bring discretion, longevity, and exceptional service to UHNW environments.
Our clients rely on us to source talent who thrive in highly bespoke, fast‑moving, and deeply personal settings. Whether a family office is newly established or long‑standing, we understand the unique governance, confidentiality, and cultural considerations involved in building the right team.
Family offices require a different calibre of support talent; professionals who blend commercial acumen with emotional intelligence, flexibility, and absolute discretion. At ISE Partners, we have a long track record of placing outstanding individuals across roles such as:
• Executive Assistants & Personal Assistants
• Chiefs of Staff
• Team Assistants & Administrative Support
• Office Managers & Operations Leads
• Front of House, Reception, & Facilities Professionals
• Private Office Support & Hybrid EA/Private PA roles
Because family offices vary widely, some operating like investment firms, others like private households, our consultants take time to understand the structure, rhythm, and evolving needs of each environment before advising on talent.
Why Family Offices Choose ISE Partners
We are selective, targeted, and relationship driven. Our network includes candidates who have worked within UHNW, private capital, wealth management, and investment led environments, individuals who know how to support principals, manage competing priorities, and maintain absolute confidentiality.
Family offices partner with us because we offer:

Supporting Candidates Seeking Family Office Jobs
For candidates, a family office job offers exceptional variety, autonomy, and exposure. These environments reward loyalty, adaptability, and a proactive mindset; and they need individuals who can operate confidently in both corporate and personal spheres.
We coach the candidates we represent through each step of the process, offering guidance on:
Family office culture and expectations
We explain the nuances of working in UHNW and private wealth environments, where discretion and relationship building are paramount. Candidates gain insight into the high standards, fluid priorities, and values driven decision making that shape both single and multi family office settings.
Role scope and progression opportunities
Family office roles often evolve rapidly, and we help candidates understand the breadth of responsibilities they may take on, from business support to private tasks. We also outline realistic progression pathways, helping individuals identify where long term development and expanded influence are most likely.
Salary and benefits benchmarking
We provide clear, market specific guidance on compensation for family office roles, which can differ significantly from corporate structures. This ensures candidates are equipped to navigate discussions confidently and understand the premium placed on discretion and stability in UHNW environments.
Confidentiality and boundary management
Because family offices operate at the intersection of professional and personal support, we help candidates understand how to maintain healthy boundaries while delivering exceptional service. We offer practical advice on managing sensitive information, handling private matters, and establishing trust with principals and family members.
No two family offices look the same. Some operate as sophisticated investment structures with dozens of staff; others are compact and deeply personal. Our recruitment strategy reflects this diversity.
We scale our search approach, whether retained, exclusive, or contingent, to suit the office’s size, pace, and level of discretion required. And because we work closely with the wider private capital community, we understand the expectations and operational standards UHNW families apply to their support functions.
If you are establishing a new family office, expanding your team, or seeking exceptional support talent, ISE Partners is the specialist recruitment partner you can trust.
For clients: We deliver a targeted, confidential search for support professionals who become long term pillars of your organisation.
