ENGAGING THE SERVICES OF A FREELANCE SECRETARY
GENERAL
Bespoke Secretarial Solutions offers clients the dedicated support of a Board-level personal assistant coupled with the flexibility of engaging a contractor.
The service provided by Bespoke Secretarial Solutions is tailored to meet your changing requirements and affords you complete flexibility. We can work for as many or as few hours as are required to complete the tasks you delegate to us, and you only pay for the time actually spent on the completion of tasks.
Support is, in the main, provided remotely. It may however, be possible to arrange regular face-to-face catch up meetings should the client prefer this level of contact.
VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS
A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a self-employed professional who provides professional administrative, technical, or creative assistance to clients remotely. The VA is a relatively new concept, the development and growth of which has been facilitated by technological developments. Because Virtual Assistants are independent contractors rather than employees, clients are not responsible for any employee-related taxes, insurance or benefits. Clients also avoid the logistical problem of providing additional office space, equipment and supplies.
Virtual Assistants often undertake work without actually meeting, or even speaking, to clients. We at Bespoke Secretarial Solutions believe that it can prove invaluable to meet face-to-face with clients, at least at the outset, in order to develop a rapport and ensure that we have a clear understanding of the project in hand and of the client’s wider aims: this is, of course, very much at the client’s discretion.
RECEIPT AND DELIVERY OF WORK
The client will send work requiring completion to us in the most convenient form for them, eg telephone through the details, email, fax or post. This will then be completed in accordance with the client’s requirements and schedule and returned to the client in their preferred format. When necessary, a draft form of the work will be sent to the client for approval, well in advance of the final deadline.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A signed acceptance of Bespoke Secretarial Solution’s Terms and Conditions must be received prior to work commencing for a new client – further details are available upon request.
RATES
Our standard hourly rate is £25.00 per hour. However, should a client undertake to pay for a set minimum number of hours per month, then a reduced hourly rate is offered – details of which are available upon request. Quotations for specific projects will be made on the basis of information supplied by the client.
