Description: Small company seeking a virtual assistant for work on an as-needed but likely ongoing basis, particularly during staff holidays. The job is suitable for professional VAs or for stay at home parents. It is best suited for individuals who expect to be at a computer in their home office or other quiet environment during work hours.

- Email the filled out screening questionnaires twice daily (at noon and at 5 p.m.);
- Check the company email and respond to inquiries using template messages;
- Additional tasks as agreed and needed, which may include scheduling clients in, using the firm's online diary; sending confirmation emails to scheduled clients; posting letters (reimbursement for postage and materials will be provided); conducting research; doing basic accounting by inputting data into an Excel spreadsheet; and other matters;
Additional Requirements:
- If you are based in the UK, it would be preferred if you had a landline contract with unlimited minutes, although each telephone call you make is expected to last no longer than 5 minutes (10 at most).
- If you are based outside of the UK and/or do not have an unlimited calling landline, you must be able to take Internet-based calls as they come in, meaning that you must be by a computer during work hours.
