Freelance Virtual Assistant

Part-Time Virtual Assistant to a Serial Entrepreneur

Remote • ~10 hrs/week • £20/hour

Josh Bardsley runs several businesses — The Conversation Store, FBED Labs, The Groves-Bardsley Estate and Serena Grant Salons— and his time is consumed by the things only he can do. Which means everything else needs someone brilliant looking after it.

That’s where you come in.

This is a remote, part-time role at around 10 hours per week — a couple of hours a day — supporting Josh personally across his businesses and day-to-day life. You won’t be joining a team. It’ll be you and Josh, and you’ll quickly become someone he relies on completely.

What the role actually looks like

Josh is fast-moving, highly focused, and — let’s be honest — not always easy to pin down. He doesn’t need someone who waits to be told what to do. He needs someone who already knows, gets on with it, and quietly makes sure nothing falls through the cracks across multiple very different businesses.

Day to day, that means managing his inbox and calendar, handling correspondence, preparing him for meetings, tracking what’s outstanding, making and taking calls on his behalf, and keeping his personal life admin ticking along. The variety is genuinely interesting — no two days look the same.

You’ll be great at this if you…

•      Have experience supporting a busy entrepreneur, founder, or senior exec — ideally someone who runs more than one thing

•      Are proactive to your core — you spot what needs doing before anyone says it

•      Communicate clearly and confidently, including when you need to chase him

•      Are completely comfortable making and taking calls on someone else’s behalf — representing Josh professionally whether that’s chasing suppliers, booking things, or handling calls he doesn’t have time for

•      Are comfortable working independently across different types of businesses

•      Have solid working knowledge of Google Workspace and basic Excel

•      Are discreet, calm under pressure, and genuinely easy to work with

The details

•      ~10 hours per week, fully remote

•      £20/hour

•      Immediate start preferred
