**Remote / Work From Home | Fractional Role | Small Business Support**
I am looking for a reliable, organised and proactive Personal Assistant to support the owner of a small bakery business.
This is a **fractional work-from-home role**, meaning it is not a full-time position. The role will require a small number of hours each week, with the possibility of increasing the workload as the business grows.
The bakery is in its early stages, so the ideal person should be comfortable working in a small business environment where tasks may change from day to day. The role will mainly involve helping the owner stay updated, organised and informed about what is happening in the business.
### Main Responsibilities
* Follow up on daily business activity and provide clear updates
* Communicate with team members, suppliers or local contacts when required
* Help bridge communication gaps between the owner and people working on the ground
* Track tasks, deadlines, orders or operational updates
* Send short, clear written summaries of what has been done
* Assist with basic admin, scheduling, reminders and coordination
* Raise issues early if something is delayed, unclear or needs attention
* Support the owner with small ad hoc tasks connected to the bakery
### Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be:
* Reliable and responsive
* Clear in written and spoken communication
* Organised and good at following up
* Comfortable working independently from home
* Able to take initiative without needing constant supervision
* Honest about progress, delays or problems
* Fluent in English
* Comfortable communicating with local team members when needed
* Interested in supporting a growing small business
### Time Commitment
fractional depending on business needs.
As the bakery grows, there may be opportunities for additional hours or a broader role. Any increase in work would be discussed and agreed in advance.
### Nature of the Role
This role is best suited to someone who wants flexible, part-time work and is happy supporting a small business owner with communication, coordination and follow-up.
The most important qualities are
**reliability, responsiveness, organisation and clear communication**.
