Job Opportunities

Virtual Assistant – Crochet Business (Remote, UK)

I’m looking for a Virtual Assistant to help with the day-to-day running of my business so I can focus on designing, filming, and creating.

This role will start as a freelance position for a few months, with the intention of becoming a long-term, permanent salaried role with more hours as the business grows.

The Role

  • Remote

  • Flexible hours (to fit around your schedule)

  • Initial training provided – you do not need to already be a freelance VA

Pay: £15–£25 per hour (negotiable depending on experience)
Hours: 8–16 hours per week initially (negotiable)

If you are an experienced VA, please include your hourly rate and minimum weekly hours in the relevant section of the application form.

What You’ll Be Doing (Initially)

Your main focus at the start will be helping me stay on top of communication and admin, including:

  • Managing my email inbox

  • Responding to pattern support and customer queries

  • Replying to comments on social media platforms

  • Scheduling social media posts

  • Occasional moderation of livestreams

  • General admin, organisation, and behind-the-scenes business tasks

You don’t need to know everything on day one - I’ll provide training and support to transition you into the role.

How the Role Could Grow

As Meema Makes grows, so could your role. Depending on your interests and strengths, future tasks may include:

  • Setting up and managing an email newsletter

  • Light video editing

  • Content creation support

  • Social media management

  • Other creative or operational tasks

There may also be opportunities to:

  • Attend yarn shows or events with me (with travel and accommodation paid for)

  • Work in person if you are local to Leeds and interested in hands-on support

  • Learn more about crochet design and content creation from me

Essential Criteria

  • Based in the UK

  • Good knowledge of crochet skills and pattern reading

  • Customer service experience

  • Confident with IT, especially:

    • Email

    • Google Docs / Sheets

    • Social media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok)

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Desirable (But Not Required)

  • Experience as a PA or VA

  • Experience setting up or managing an email newsletter

  • Social media posting and comment moderation

  • Copywriting

  • Simple video editing (short or long form)
