If you’re an experienced PA looking for a flexible, challenging new opportunity, you could find it with Kaleidoscope.
We’re now recruiting self employed part-time executive Virtual Assistants to work alongside the established Kaleidoscope team. The business has been providing high level executive support to clients for several years now, and we’re growing the business and the team along with it.

There are many types of Virtual Assistant, but a Kaleidoscope Executive Virtual Assistant is unique. The main reason for that is that word, ‘executive’, which refers not just to the type of work we do, but the way we do it and the people we do it for.
A self-employed non-executive director or management consultant – our main clients – is working at a very high level, and usually dealing with executives in large corporate organisations. All of their clients have professional PAs running their diaries – and we believe our clients should have exactly the same service.
I’m delighted to report I’ve just joined the Alternative Board.
It’s a professional coaching and consultancy network, comprising business leaders who get together monthly to share tips and help solve particular problems in each others’ business.
It’s well structured, quite formal and very practical and results-focused, so I’m really looking forward to getting on board with it. As we propel Kaleidoscope to its next stage in business growth, I’m keen to apply a bit more pressure to myself to set goals and be accountable for working towards them!
We’re raising glasses to the little one’s birthday at the new Kaleidoscope headquarters in York, which is also our new home, as we moved house last week.
Today is my first day back at work and, apart from a few technical hiccups, both myself and the business are settling in well.
It hardly seems real that almost four years ago to the day I left my job as PA to the finance director at Northern Rail in York. That happened on a Friday in late March and on the following Monday, Kaleidoscope was launched.
I’ve become involved in the Young Enterprise project for primary schools, which is a volunteer programme open to anyone who would like to help inspire young people aged between 4 and 25 to learn and succeed through enterprise.
It’s based on the need to expand children's learning beyond the curriculum. The volunteers are there to help with passing on essential life and work skills through topics and stories covering work, saving, earning, decision-making and teamwork. The older students create and run real companies with help from business mentors.
We’re all of a flurry at Kaleidoscope HQ this week as we’re moving house at the end of March.
Along with the countless things it takes to do and remember to make a home move go smoothly, there’s a lot to sort out in terms of moving the business, too.
Most of the planning I’m busy with at the moment is to ensure my clients receive a completely seamless service from Kaleidoscope – hopefully they’ll be barely aware anything has changed.
Part of ensuring this is the case is keeping myself calm and free from stress – a challenge at times, as there are a lot of emotional ups and downs to deal with. It’s another reason why advance planning is essential for managing a move like this.
