About this task

This hospitality operator in short-term rentals (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a senior Part-Time Executive Assistant for an ongoing part-time engagement of 2–4 h a week. Handles private errands, bills and appointments that otherwise eat an executive's evenings.

The company wants a senior person on this without carrying the cost of a full-time role. It works in travel and hospitality, where demand is seasonal.

The team sits in Surrey. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call.

What you deliver

• Manage appointments, renewals and service bookings for a busy executive within an agreed weekly budget.
• Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day
• A written update every Thursday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked
• A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

What a week looks like

• Monday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items
• Tuesday: main working block (2 hours)
• Thursday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

Duration: 6 months, then month by month. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.
