JOB OVERVIEW

Personal Virtual Assistant / Lifestyle Assistant – Cebu Preferred

I'm looking for a reliable, proactive, and resourceful Personal Virtual Assistant to help me with everyday personal tasks, appointments, research, and general life administration.

I'm based in Cebu, Philippines, and I'm looking for someone I can build a long-term working relationship with.

This is a flexible, part-time position with a relatively light and irregular workload. It would be ideal for someone looking for an additional source of income alongside other commitments.

### Responsibilities

Your tasks may include:

- Researching and scheduling appointments with doctors, physiotherapists, dentists, and other service providers
- Calling local pharmacies to check medication availability and pricing
- Finding local professionals offering home visits or specialized services
- Contacting businesses via phone, email, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp
- Researching and comparing products, services, and prices
- Making reservations and coordinating bookings
- Following up with businesses and service providers
- Organizing deliveries and handling general personal administrative tasks
- Occasionally helping with local errands (optional, not required)

Tasks will vary depending on my needs. Some weeks may have several requests, while others may have none.

### Additional Opportunity: In-Person Errands (Highly Valued Bonus)

While this is primarily a remote position, being based in Cebu and having the ability to occasionally assist with in-person errands would be a significant advantage.

Examples of occasional errands include:

- Picking up items from pharmacies or local stores
- Purchasing or collecting products locally
- Handling other miscellaneous errands around Cebu

In-person errands would generally be included within the regular monthly working hours, just like remote tasks.

The monthly compensation covers up to 12 hours of work, regardless of whether tasks are performed remotely or in person. Reasonable transportation expenses and any necessary purchases will be reimbursed separately, with prior approval.

Travel and waiting time required for an approved errand will count toward the monthly working hours.

If a task requires additional hours beyond the monthly salary or involves unusual travel or significant effort, compensation can be discussed and agreed upon in advance.

In-person availability is completely optional and not a requirement for the position. However, candidates who can offer both remote assistance and occasional local support in Cebu will be strongly preferred.

### Requirements

Must-have:
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Fluent in Cebuano
- Comfortable making phone calls to businesses in the Philippines
- Reliable, proactive, organized, and detail-oriented
- Strong online research and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Comfortable communicating via WhatsApp
- Able to acknowledge requests within the same Philippine business day during agreed Monday–Friday availability
- Comfortable with a flexible workload and no fixed daily working hours

Nice-to-have:
- Based in Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, or surrounding areas
- Previous experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant, Virtual Assistant, or Concierge
- Familiarity with local healthcare providers and businesses
- Willingness to occasionally handle in-person errands in Cebu

### Working Arrangement

- Primarily remote
- Flexible, long-term collaboration
- Approximately 8–12 hours of actual work per month
- No fixed daily working schedule
- Some weeks may have no tasks
- Requests should be acknowledged within the same Philippine business day during agreed availability
- Simple tasks should ideally be completed the same day when feasible
- More complex tasks may require additional time
- Communication primarily through WhatsApp
- Additional working hours and occasional in-person errands can be arranged separately

### Compensation

₱6,000 PHP per month, covering up to 12 hours of actual work.

Additional hours will be compensated separately at an agreed hourly rate.

The monthly compensation remains the same even when fewer than 12 hours of work are required.

This role is designed for someone who values flexibility and is interested in a stable, long-term arrangement with a light workload.

### What I'm Looking For

I don't want someone who simply sends me Google search results.

I'm looking for someone who takes ownership of tasks and independently finds solutions.

For example:

If I ask you to find a physiotherapist who offers home visits in Cebu, I'd expect you to research suitable providers, contact them, verify pricing and availability, and present me with the best options.

I value clear communication, reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to get things done without constant follow-ups.

### How to Apply

Please answer the following questions:

1. Where in the Philippines are you currently based?
2. Which languages do you speak fluently?
3. Do you have previous experience as a Personal Assistant, VA, or in a similar role?
4. Are you comfortable making phone calls to local businesses, pharmacies, and service providers?
5. How would you go about finding three physiotherapists offering home visits in Cebu, including confirming their availability and prices?
6. Are you comfortable with approximately 8–12 hours of work per month and a flexible, irregular workload?
7. Can you acknowledge requests within the same Philippine business day, Monday through Friday, during agreed hours?
8. Would you be willing to occasionally handle local errands in Cebu? (Optional)

Please start your application with the words "Cebu Assistant" so I know you've read the entire job description.

I'm looking for someone dependable, resourceful, and interested in a long-term working relationship.
