Barbara consistently displayed exceptional attention to detail in managing paperwork and documentation....

Barbara consistently displayed exceptional attention to detail in managing paperwork and documentation. Barbara’s deep knowledge of the healthcare sector ensured that all documentation met legal requirements, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing our ability to provide safe and effective care. Florence, Spring Fountain Private LTD Home Care   |     |  

...she genuinely cares and gives her heart into every project she does...

Barbara is not only excellent at what she does, and once she sets her mind on doing something she gives it her all and on top of that she is "annoyingly" a naturally born organiser. If anyone should know it would be me as I have known her for 24 years! That said our lives as a family have been better for it. Her attention to detail is second to none. Moreover she genuinely cares and gives her heart into every project she does. This review may be "biased" however it is "heartful" and nothing but the truth. N.Breen, Barbara's husband   |     |  

...informative, helpful, professional and very knowledgeable...

I found Barbara to be informative, helpful, professional and very knowledgeable. She articulated the need to examine the detail of the records and how they might, or might not, fit with the requirements of the NHS CHC reviews. Advice to providers and families has always been realistic and objective! Fungisai S, Virtuous health group.   |     |

A virtual assistant (VA) provides remote administrative support, helping manage tasks like scheduling, client communication, and documentation. I specialise in the homecare sector, allowing you to focus on delivering care while I handle the administrative burden.

 

How does a virtual assistant work remotely?


I utilise digital tools such as email, cloud-based software, and secure communication platforms to manage your administrative tasks, ensuring seamless collaboration.

 

What are the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant over a full-time employee?


Hiring a VA can save you costs on employee benefits, office space, and equipment. You only pay for the hours or services you need, allowing for flexibility and increased productivity.

 

Do you only cover Northamptonshire?


Whilst I am based in Northamptonshire, I operate virtually and can provide my services nationwide.

 

Do you provide emergency cover such as sickness cover?


Yes, subject to availability.

No notice is required for adhoc work if payment has been made in full. For packages and retainers a month's notice is required.
