SEEKING PART TIME ASSISTANT
Details:
Contract position
6-9 hours/week
$20 per hour
Location: home office in downtown Durham, occasionally home office in Hillsborough
Job description:
Creative and busy individual with highly functional ADHD seeks a part-time assistant for help with task tracking, initiation, and completion. The applicant will help manage tasks across two small businesses and a busy family life.
Work sessions generally begin with help updating a running document of tasks, then sorting action items by business, priority level, and time required to complete. The rest of the session is spent assigning tasks and moving forward towards their completion.
About the businesses:
Walking Distance Properties is a small rental property business comprised of 8 rental units, with a focus on walkable housing, historic preservation, and affordable rent. The primary assistance needed is for establishing better organizational practices and task completion.
Down Yonder Farm is a second-generation, 50-acre homestead in Hillsborough. Currently, the farm serves as a short-term rental and occasional venue for music, arts, and cultural events. The primary assistance needed is task completion, financial organization, and progress towards long-term goals.
About the owner:
I’m Jessie (she/her). My background is in Creative Writing, photography, events, historic home renovation, and property management. I’ve managed several different businesses over the course of 20+ years. I'm highly-functional, independent, and creative, but I have inattentive-type ADHD which makes keeping momentum towards larger goals difficult. I’m seeking someone who’s naturally good with systems, who can offer a counterbalance to my strengths, and who’s willing to gently hold me accountable for the boring stuff. I would love to work with someone who believes in the potential of these two businesses. This is a paid position, but there are opportunities for trade as well.
(Please note that responses may take a while (hence the need for an assistant!)
