Can I Hire a Virtual Assistant on a Flexible Hourly Basis in the UK?

Yes, you absolutely can. Whether you need support for a few hours a week, during a busy project, or to cover short-term gaps, Bright Spark PAs makes it simple to hire professional, UK-based assistants who work both in person and remotely, on a completely flexible hourly basis.

We help founders, executives, and small business teams across the UK find trusted, experienced assistants who can step in exactly when they are needed, without any long-term commitment.

Why Choose a Flexible Virtual Assistant

Hiring a virtual assistant on a flexible hourly basis means you only pay for the support you need. It is ideal for business owners who:

• Need short-term or part-time help without hiring a full-time employee

• Experience fluctuating workloads throughout the year

• Want to test out PA support before committing to a longer arrangement

• Prefer to scale support up or down easily as business needs change

  
  

At Bright Spark PAs, our assistants are available on-demand for both one-off and ongoing projects, giving you full control over how much support you use.

In Person or Remote – Your Choice

We understand that every business works differently. That is why we offer both in-person and virtual PA support, so you can choose what fits best for you.

• In-person support: Ideal if you need hands-on help with events, office organisation, or tasks that require being on-site in London or nearby areas.

• Remote support: Perfect for inbox management, diary coordination, travel planning, and operations, handled efficiently from anywhere in the UK.

  
  

Whichever option you choose, you will work with a professional assistant who feels like part of your team.
