Virtual (remote) assistant - general ad hoc tasks - Must be able to call UK phone numbers

I'm looking for a remote offshore virtual assistant to undertake ongoing ad-hoc general tasks (e.g. research, phone calls etc). The majority of tasks are expected to be personal. As such you will need to be able to speak, read and write excellent english, along with provide information in a clear, readable format, and will generally be free to choose how you wish to lay out the information you provide in response (e.g. spreadsheet, basic email, document etc). You will need to be able to both call AND email UK based companies to do many of the tasks given and find out the information. If you have a wider skillset, that's fantastic (I may need those skills in future) but that's not essential right now. The expected volume of work will be very low (a few hours a month as anexpected average), but most requests will not require a fast turnaround and so you can do them at your own pace and fit them in around your other clients. The below are EXAMPLES of the typical types of request you could expect to receive: * TASK: Provide a list of the names/phone numbers/email addresses/postal addresses of all car repair companies within 3 miles of a given location, that have an average rating of 4.5* (or more) on Google Maps, along with their price for a major service (of a given make/model/year/registration of car), and a list of what the major service includes (if a company does not respond after an attempt to call and email them, please provide the details you did obtain and mark the details you could not as 'N/A'). ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION: Please provide your list X hours into this job and do not perform more work on it until authorised. DEADLINE: 3 working days at XX:XX (UK time). * TASK: Provide a list of the names/website URLs/phone numbers of 3 companies who you are able to evidence provide application advice for a (given) university course, along with a copy of any published pricing information. Acceptable forms of evidence that a company can do this is any ONE of the following: 1. Confirmed by phone call (if so, please provide the name of the person who confirmed this), 2. Published on website (if so, please provide copy of webpage), 3. Confirmed by email (if so, please provide copy of their email confirmation). ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION: Please provide your list X hours into this job and do not perform more work on it until authorised. DEADLINE: 5 working days at XX:XX (UK time). You'll need to: * Have a track record of good feedback on this platform (no new profiles, sorry). * Be able to use your initiative to complete a task efficiently - although please note that I'm always happy to explain and clarify if the task isn't clear. * Be reliable and honest. * Speak, read and write excellent english. * Make calls and send emails to UK based companies. * Have any word processing / spreadsheet program that can save files in a common format (examples of appropriate software includes Libreoffice, Microsoft Office, G-suite etc) Finally: I'm looking for a low hourly rate (hence why I've suggested offshore as the best fit) but I need someone that can undertake the typical tasks and others like them successfully, so your english ability is vital to getting hired.
