Job description

Overview

This is not your average PA role. I’m looking for a sharp, organised, detail-obsessed and proactive person who can help me run both my business and my life — calmly and efficiently. You’ll be my right hand, keeping my email inboxes under control, my diary running smoothly, and personal admin handled without fuss. If you love getting things done, thinking two steps ahead, and bringing calm to chaos, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Be Doing

A mix of business, personal, and family admin tasks, including :

  • Business & Admin Support
  • Managing my inbox and calendar (across several businesses)
  • Preparing and formatting documents, spreadsheets, and reports
  • Liaising with clients, suppliers, and team members on my behalf
  • Coordinating meetings, Zoom calls, and travel arrangements
  • Keeping project and task lists organised
  • Following up on actions and deadlines so nothing slips through
  • Personal & Family Support
  • Managing personal emails and diary appointments
  • Handling school admin, kids’ forms, and activity schedules
  • Booking appointments, reservations, and family travel
  • Maintaining household admin spreadsheets (renewals, reminders, etc.)
  • Organising gifts, cards, online orders, and personal errands
  • Keeping track of key dates (birthdays, renewals, events)

Requirements / What You’ll Thrive In

  • Ruthless attention to detail — you spot typos, patterns, and missed steps
  • Proactive — you see what’s needed before being asked
  • Tech-savvy — comfortable with Gmail, Google Workspace, Canva, Zoom, etc.
  • Clear and confident written and verbal communication
  • Enjoy bringing structure, calm, and consistency to a busy environment
  • Take pride in making someone else’s life easier

    • This Role Is Not For You If

  • You need constant supervision or hand-holding
  • You dislike admin or repetitive work
  • Struggle to prioritise when everything feels urgent
  • You prefer a slow or predictable pace — things move quickly here

    • Details

  • Location : South Africa (Remote)
  • Schedule : Full-time, Monday to Friday (some flexibility)
  • Pay : Around R25,000, depending on experience
  • Start Date : ASAP
  • Growth Path : Opportunity to evolve into Operations or Chief of Staff level

    • About Me

    I’m a UK-based Chartered Accountant and entrepreneur running multiple growing businesses across accounting, education, and property. My world blends high standards with a family-first ethos — I value people who are dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely care about helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.
