  • Keep CRM records, spreadsheets and shared folders accurate and up to date
  • Arrange travel, process expenses and handle supplier correspondence
  • Chase outstanding actions and follow up on behalf of the team

What you will need

  • One or more years in an administrative, PA or virtual assistant role
  • Experience with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
  • Familiarity with a CRM or project tool such as HubSpot, Asana, Trello or Monday
  • Clear written and spoken English, with a professional phone and email manner
  • A quiet home workspace, reliable fibre or LTE, and backup power
  • Comfortable working independently and asking questions when something is unclear

What is on offer

  • A steady monthly salary, paid reliably
  • 100% remote — no commute, no relocation
  • UK business hours, so your evenings stay yours
  • Long-term placement with a UK employer, supported by Remote Recruitment throughout

If you are organised, dependable and want steady remote work with a UK team, we would like to hear from you.
