Tech-focused, AI-loving virtual assistant. UK only, growing role

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
