JOB OVERVIEW
ABOUT US
You'll be working for a very close, warm UK family of 8, with family members spread across a few countries in Europe. We're looking for a small team of three people to be their family managers and PAs. We don't want someone for a few months. We want people who'll stay long-term, grow with them and become an extended member of the family.
HOW IT WORKS
- You'll be part of a team of 3 VAs, with a daily handover between shifts and a weekly team day.
- You work through a remote desktop (RDP) connection to a UK computer, so you can use UK shops, booking sites and the family's accounts.
- You talk to the family on WhatsApp (connected to the same computer), and we give you a UK and European phone line and dialler to make and take calls.
- 2 rest days every week, always. We don't want anyone burning out.
THE 3 SLOTS (all times UK, with Philippine time in brackets)
We need someone from 8am to midnight UK time, 7 days a week. Each slot is 5 shifts of 8.5 hours.
* SLOT 1 - DAY
- Mon to Fri, 8:00am-4:30pm UK (4:00pm-12:30am PH)
- Off Sat and Sun

* SLOT 2 - EVENING
- Wed to Sun, 3:30pm-midnight UK (11:30pm-8:00am PH)
- Off Mon and Tue
- Best for: someone happy to work a night shift in the Philippines. This slot handles evening grocery cutoffs and midnight tennis court bookings.

TEAM DAY
Wednesday is our team day. All three of you overlap that afternoon for a catch-up, training and planning.
HANDOVERS
There's a 1-hour overlap between the day and evening person every day, so nothing gets dropped. We use a shared WhatsApp group and a handover log.
It's not a busy-all-day job. Some tasks are time-critical (booking tennis courts the second they open, placing grocery orders before the shop cutoff) and the rest of the time is gentler.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Book tennis courts (some open 2 weeks ahead at midnight UK time, others at 8am).
- Book flights, hotels and Airbnbs for the family, and hunt for the best deals.
- Book restaurants for the family in various locations, researching and finding new and interesting ones based on their preferences.
- Plan family trips, including a monthly family get-together, and date activities for the kids and their partners.
- Find thoughtful birthday presents and plan parties for family and friends. Surprises must stay secret!
- Handle paperwork like insurance and licence renewals.
- Reply to
- Book Ubers and other transport.
- Compare prices and order things.
- Run bigger trip plans by getting quotes from travel agents and booking sites like
- Put together credit card disputes and complaint letters.
- Find tutors and other help for the kids.
- Make and take phone calls as a PA.
- Keep our calendar, birthdays, passport expiries and subscriptions under control.
- Spot and be flexible to other ways to make our lives easier. We'll always listen to your ideas.

- A quiet place for calls and a backup plan for power and internet
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow instructions exactly
