POSITION FILLED



Part time Executive Assistant ? home based


Hi all

I run a rapidly growing IT business (www.shapeblue.com) We have offices in Covent Garden, India, US, Brasil and South Africa. However, I predominantly work from home (and live in ED, hence putting this advert here). I often meet with members of my team locally, so having somebody close-by seems to make sense.

I found my current assistant through the EDF and it has worked very well. However, she is about to go off on maternity leave (10 April ? early September) , so I would like to take some else on in this role for that period.


I need somebody to help me with the business administration. It will be part time (maybe 10-20 hours per week initially, but completely flexible). You would be self-employed

I need somebody who is able to work from home (i.e. with a PC at home) and is used to managing their own time in order to achieve the requirements of the job. Hours are completely flexible.

The other reason that I?m advertising here, is that I think this role would suit somebody who is having a career break, but wants to do a little, flexible, part time work.

The role is to pick up anything that I cant cope with. I am a hair-brained entrepreneur, who needs somebody to support me and make sure that everything (from an admin perspective) works well . Part of that is admin, part PA, part being involved in some very exciting projects (such as organising conferences,etc)


Below is a list of attributes, skills & duties that I would *like* people to have. I understand that it may be difficult to find somebody with all of these??

? Invoicing - experience of creating invoices and managing payments (preferably in an international, multi-currency environment)

? Collating data for monthly management reports

? Banking (payments, etc)

? Handling of timesheets and customer reporting

Basic website editing


? Diary management ? booking meetings with clients, arranging meeting rooms at offices

? Events: liaising with conference organisers, designers, etc

? Proof reading of documents (such as sales proposals)

? Booking travel ? flights, hotels, car hire, restaurants, checking in online, seat upgrades etc.

? Familiar with a wide range of software tools ? including MS office, maybe accounting systems and other tools such as project management tools

? Experience in an IT company useful (no technical experience required)

? Experience in events organisation

? Any commercial or contractual experience a benefit


As I say, its quite a disparate set of duties ? and it may change. So most of all, I need somebody with initiative & experience in a dynamic commercial environment that I know is going to be a safe pair of hands to take on various duties from me

If you are interested or have any questions, please DO NOT PM me. Please email your CV to [email protected]

If anyone does have any questions - I'm the current Exec Asst who is about to go on maternity leave so I'm happy to answer any queries. This is a great opportunity to work part-time from home, it's a very flexible role working with for a lovely team!

    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
