To put it simply, I like helping and supporting people. I’m here to be your spare pair of hands, and cheerleader.  All to enable you to do more of the stuff you love, and less of the stuff you don’t!

I take on projects and tasks that you need doing, agree a deadline, get on with them, and come back to you once complete. I work part-time at a University, and part-time as a freelancer.

Who I work with…

Because of my extensive marketing and communications background, my strengths lie in supporting busy marcomms or creative professionals/entrepreneurs.

However, I have worked with the medical profession, and also have a background with professional services – lawyers and accountants – so I am very versatile and can turn my hand to most things.

In addition, I am currently working in a part-time position at a University, most recently within donor relationship management, and currently as a PA to the Dean. I have over 10 years experience in higher education administration.

How it works…

You contact me via LinkedIn, and we have a free ‘discovery call’ to discuss how I can help, or you may already have a project in mind. We can discuss and then agree on a deadline and objective.

If you are happy to proceed to the next stage, you then book some time – I normally get booked in blocks of 5 or 10 hours to start with. I invoice you, and once that’s paid in full via BACS, I start work!

Unsure whether a VA is for you….

If you are hesitant, I am more than happy to be booked for an initial 1-hour block and you can set me a short task to see how we work together, and from then, you can decide if you would like to block-book me after that.

When I’m working with you…

I use Trello for task management, and update this regularly, so you will see how your tasks are being managed, and progress made. You will also see on your personal Trello board – at any time – how your hours have been used so far, and what hours you have left.

How I charge…

I charge £35 per hour.  I pay my own tax, national insurance, ongoing training, computer equipment, stationery supplies, etc.  You don’t have to pay me sick pay, holiday pay or buy me a Christmas dinner ;0)

If you need up to 2 pages of an A4 black and white document printed; this is free of charge. Anything more will be charged at cost rate from a local printer.

Telephone calls are charged at cost rate; once a block of time has been agreed.

Mileage charged at £1.00 per mile.

If there is a specific project you have in mind, sometimes its easier to set a price for the whole job. Get in touch and we can discuss.
