Administration/Personal Assistant

Job Summary

Part-Time Administrative / Personal Assistant – Private Household

I am looking for a capable, organised and proactive person to provide practical administrative support for approximately 10 hours per week, usually over two weekday afternoons.

This is a varied, hands-on role based primarily in my home in Elland. I need someone who can help me keep on top of personal, household and small-business administration and, importantly, take ownership of tasks and follow them through to completion.

Typical tasks will include:

• Managing emails, correspondence and paperwork
• Making telephone calls and dealing with organisations on my behalf
• Booking and keeping track of appointments
• Chasing outstanding enquiries, responses and paperwork
• Organising invoices, bills and direct debits
• Online research, obtaining quotes and comparing services or purchases
• Keeping records, documents and information organised
• Assisting with property-related administration, including the development and ongoing administration of a holiday let
• Accompanying me to appointments, meetings, properties and on work-related errands when required
• Generally helping me tackle the admin jobs that arise from week to week

I am looking for someone who is confident using their own initiative. Rather than simply completing individual instructions, I need someone who will notice what needs doing, keep track of outstanding tasks, chase things when necessary and make sure they actually get finished.

You should be confident and competent using Windows 10/11 and Microsoft 365, particularly Outlook, Word and Excel; comfortable learning or navigating different websites, online accounts and systems; and confident speaking to organisations and professionals by telephone.

A full UK driving licence is essential. The role will sometimes involve accompanying me to appointments, meetings, properties or other locations, including occasional trips outside the local area. This may include driving me, collecting items or carrying out work-related errands. My car will be available for these journeys, so use of your own vehicle will not normally be required.

Hours: Approximately 10 hours per week over two flexible weekday afternoons. Days and times can be mutually agreed.

Rate: £18 per hour.

This is intended to be a long-term position, so I am particularly interested in someone looking for a regular ongoing role rather than short-term work.

When applying, please tell me briefly about your relevant experience and why this particular role appeals to you.

Pay: £18.00 per hour

Expected hours: 10.0 per week

Benefits:

• Casual dress
• Free parking

Work Location: In person
