Here is the Detailed Job Description (Who we are / What we need):
We are a happy, "power of positive thinking" type of couple in our thirties, with a sweet 10-year-old Chihuahua, and no children. We've been experiencing a rate of growth at work that is stretching our capabilities in new and exciting ways, and we've determined that it is time to bring on a dedicated team member to support our personal and professional development by taking some of the day-to-day load off our plates.
So, we are seeking an empathetic, detail-oriented Personal Assistant/Housekeeper Extraordinaire! This is a multifaceted position that requires a well-adjusted, well-rounded person of intelligence who can think on their feet and is adept at using the internet and various platforms/tools to learn new skills, solve problems, and stay organized. Also, super chill vibes are a must. An easy-going person who is responsive to requests, leaves the drama and ego at home, is flexible, adaptable, and brings the positive energy of a person that is happy to have a job working for a supportive employer who cares about their well-being is the ideal—and frankly, the only type of person we will fill this position with. You will be working closely with us in our home day after day, and that will require a level of awareness as to the energies we allow into our shared space. We recognize that this is a two-way street. Our home is our sanctuary, and a happy and comfortable home for us means there needs to be a chill and supportive work environment for you. We want you to like your job and like the people you work for.
We expect more of your time to be dedicated to various assistant functions such as assisting with administrative tasks, project research/planning, managing schedules, handling phone calls, taking meeting notes, serving as a sounding board for brainstorming sessions, and providing general support as needed, etc. However, housekeeping responsibilities will be a regular and consistent part of the job. We are looking to find someone who doesn't mind the cleaning and cooking tasks or, better yet, someone who even finds enjoyment in them—getting into a more zen/clear headspace around these tasks (maybe while listening to music or a podcast, or even as a meditative exercise) rather than feeling put out by them and making it obvious over time that this thing or that thing is your least favorite part of the job. This would, in turn, make us feel bad about asking you to do those things, which obviously wouldn’t be sustainable for a position specifically created to help in the ways we have outlined. Having said that, we aren’t super messy people or anything, so it should be pretty straightforward to maintain a tidy and clean home/work environment for us and yourself. A pristine and comfortable environment allows for easier access to flow states and more productive work. :)
The ideal candidate is a conscientious, intelligent self-starter with excellent time management and organizational skills. We need a quick thinker who can proactively anticipate needs. Preference will be shown to those individuals who can demonstrate a STRONG ability to research unfamiliar topics and use various online resources to build new skills that will aid our nonprofit's administration and growth.
We value a supportive, positive work environment and seek a compassionate, collaborative team member who shares our passion for personal growth and brings optimism and dedication to our home and organization. Your role will be crucial to our next stages of professional growth.
Looking forward to working with you!
