Expected duration: Ongoing Virtual Assistant (5–10 hrs/week, growing role) This is a UK-based role for a native English speaker. Strong written communication is essential. £25 per hour to start. Rate review after 6 months based on performance and scope growth.
I run two growing businesses:
A high-end holiday rental company in the Cotswolds An AI-powered software company
Both are scaling. I need a sharp, organised, tech-comfortable VA who can become my gatekeeper and protector of time.
This is not a “task rabbit” role. This is a right-hand support role. You will be fully trained on the operations.
What You’ll Be Doing
Holiday Rental Business -
Managing guest enquiries (Airbnb / direct bookings etc.) Handling guest communication with warmth and precision Arranging upsells, early / late checkouts, finding revenue opportunities Ordering stock and coordinating supplies Liaising with cleaners, maintenance, and suppliers Outreach to potential property owners Keeping operations tight as we grow into summer
Software Company
First-line support responses Managing inbox and filtering priorities Light systems/admin inside tech tools Helping organise projects and workflows Being comfortable around AI tools and SaaS platforms
Social media updates, book-keeping tasks, diary management, sending emails. Some personal admin support will be included - this role exists to protect my time and increase leverage.
This is a proactive support role, not just task execution and I’m looking for someone who spots gaps and improves systems.
Who This Is For
You:
Are UK-based and a native English speaker Write impeccably - clear, confident, no fluff Are highly organised and proactive Love systems, structure and efficiency Are comfortable inside software and AI tools Aren’t intimidated by tech - ideally you’re curious about it and excited about AI opportunities. Think ahead rather than wait to be told Can protect a founder’s time without being asked twice
You are comfortable with ambiguity and capable of independent execution.
The Type of Person I’m Looking For
Calm under pressure Solutions-focused Commercially aware Detail-obsessed Growth-minded - this role will expand
As the holiday rental business scales and the software company grows, this role will grow with it.
Hours & Structure
Starting at 5–10 hours per week right now Will increase over summer as rentals get busier Flexible structure but reliability is essential
