About the role
Mid-level Personal Assistant talent pool in Johannesburg, focused on a support file another assistant can use for a few days.
Profiles in this pool are matched to Personal Assistant assignments with a hiring base in Johannesburg, South Africa. The emphasis is a support file another assistant can use for a few days. Day to day that means listing routines, contacts, and what is in flight.
Responsibilities
- Brief the assistant covering you on the routine and state how you checked the what happens every week.
- Accept the handed-over in-flight list only when the note covering the bookings and tasks already started is attached.
- Turn a vague request into one concrete contact before work starts, and list the who to call.
- Protect time every week for the boundary so you are not still dealing with the tasks the cover should not take on in the last hour.
- Leave the access so the next person knows what to watch regarding the which tools the cover may use.
- Close open questions on the handover instead of parking them, and record the decision on the next appointment that matters.
Requirements
- Roughly 3 to 6 years of handing over personal assistance for a short cover that matches this personal assistant profile, or a shorter record with the same kind of finished work.
- Practical skill with a routine note and an in-flight list in personal assistant work, not a certificate alone.
- Able to explain tasks the cover should not take on to a colleague who was not in the room.
- Careful with access shared more widely than needed; this is checked in review of personal assistant work.
- For the personal assistant brief in Johannesburg, use the working language of that assignment in South Africa.
Nice to have
- Routines is useful on personal assistant assignments in Johannesburg, and it is not required.
- People who have already done in-flight lists can start this personal assistant brief with less coaching.
