PA's ONLY is a dedicated diary service for Production & Personal Assistants and we are here to run your diary, book your jobs and help further your career.

So what is a Diary Service?

For those who are new to the industry, a diary service is like a crewing agency who look after Directors, Actors, Technicians etc. in this case 'Production & Personal Assistants'. Usually the diary service represents their members by acting as their booking agent, taking messages for work (act as their professional answering service), co-ordinating their diaries, providing tools to contact the industry, giving them professional representation and credibility in what is a very competitive business. PA's ONLY exists to help you stand out from the crowd and help make production company's job easier when crewing.

For this service we charge a small monthly fee which works out a little over £1.00 per day. We offer fair, accessible and flexible packages - see subscription fees.

At PA's ONLY we go a step further and actively seek work for all our members on a daily basis. We advertise and promote our services in the main industry directories including Kays, The Knowledge and Kemps and also on as many of the industry websites. We also source information from specialised publications who are in the know about forthcoming productions and events in addition to our to our own resources. We periodically send via post and emails to industry companies and production staff promotional flyers and info offering our services. These are specifically targeted to key people and companies to jog their memory and whenever they need an PA for a specific job then they know who they need to call.

We encourage our PA's to be as proactive as possible. If you are serious about this industry then you have to work at it almost every day. You have to be actively sourcing info, applying for positions sending in your cv to companies, films and TV programmes in development, even if they are not advertising, you just don't know when a job will come up. Remember they're thousands of other PA's applying for the same jobs. We encourage our PA's to promote themselves as often as possible and using the company CV's, business cards, flyers etc. will certainly help you stand out from the crowd.

It is important for all new members that as a diary service we cannot guarantee work as part of the subscription fee. Even recruitment agencies cannot guarantee employment. We have to stress that you can not rely on us to find you work - you have to be personally active and resilient..nothing will fall on your lap (if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it) you have to be persistent, tenacious and work together with us to help you find opportunities. We recommend as a freelancer that you join a temp agency or have other casual work. This will give you flexibility and allow you to take industry jobs when they arise....It is not essential or obligatory to do this, however, we would all like to live in an ideal world, where we were working every day in our chosen fields but the sad reality is that we don't so we all need a financial cushion, something to rely on in the meantime.

We will, however, endeavour to use all our resources to encourage companies to use our platform. It is in our interest to spread the word and show the industry one call is all they need to make when crewing for PA's.

So, if you are aged 18 and over, speak English and have the necessary skills, experience, right atitude and have that all important proactive tendencies, then PA's ONLY Needs You!'

All new members who wish to join are invited to come to our offices and have an informal chat with us. It is essential that we get to know you, your personalities, strong and weak points. It is equally important that you get to know us and communicate on a regular basis. For potential members who live outside London and / or unable to attend our offices in person, we can have a chat by phone. We are always seeking new members located in different areas of the UK and / or have the ability to stay in different parts of the country. It automatically increases your chances for work as does having a driving license and a car.
