How we work

  • Initial Consultation

    Once you email jenny@anhourearned.co.uk or phone us on 07913 872 704 we’ll arrange an initial consultation either by phone, video call or face to face if you’re local, to talk about your needs, goals and biggest challenges. Together we’ll prioritise, and then we’ll get to work.

    During the consultation you can book blocks of time with us or book us for a one-off project and we’ll agree a date, fee and invoicing structure.

  • Our Process

    Together we’ll prioritise and decide what you need and when you need it, then we’ll get to work. If you book a monthly retainer we’ll send you a progress update and reminder of how many hours you have left on a weekly basis. For all clients we’ll schedule regular catch-ups to let you know where we’ve got to with the tasks you’ve given us.

    We’re always available by email, text and phone if you want to add or change tasks or want an update.

  • On-going Service

    Most of our clients start off booking us on an as-needed basis before being bitten by the bug of having on-demand support so we offer our time by the hour and you can book by phone or email.

    If you need more of our time you can book us in monthly blocks of 5, 10, 15 or more hours and can add on more time as needed. Travel up to 20 miles is included in our hourly rate, after that we charge 45p per mile.

FAQs

 

What’s a virtual PA and why on earth do I need one?

A Virtual PA is someone who takes on all the jobs and admin you don’t want, or don’t have time, to do, we even work from home so you don’t have to find office space for us!

There are so many benefits to hiring a virtual PA. We’ll help save you time and stress and make your work-life run more smoothly giving you the time back to do the things you need to do - like thinking about how to grow your business.

Are there any extra charges?

Travel up to 20 miles is included in our rate but if you need us to go further afield we charge 45p a mile. Apart from that any purchases, bookings or services you ask us to make will be included on your invoice at cost. If the value is over £50 we will ask you to make payment in advance.

Will you keep my data and information safe?

Yes of course, we’re registered with the Information Commissioners Office and take the protection of your data and information very seriously. You can read more about our privacy policy here.

Who can benefit from a virtual PA?

In a word — anyone! Our clients include harassed executives and overworked professionals, start-up businesses and established companies. Even your family and friends will benefit from your lower stress levels and increased free time!

If you feel like there’s too much to do and not enough time and you need dedicated, confidential support and a helping hand a virtual PA can be invaluable.

What qualifications do you have? Are you insured and DBS checked?

There are no formal qualifications to be a virtual PA but I’ve spent almost 20 years organising, planning and delivering to deadlines. You can find out more about me here.

We have public and professional liability insurance and are DBS checked.

Are you available 24/7?

We do need to sleep sometimes! Our schedule is very flexible but general hours are 8.30am - 5pm Monday to Friday and we can be available evenings and weekends if needed, although surcharges may apply.

Ideally we prefer 48 hours notice for tasks but emergencies arise and life happens so if you need to get in touch out of hours just drop us a call, text or email and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
