Summary

ADHD Accountability & Activation Assistant (5 Hours Per Week) I am looking for an ADHD Accountability & Activation Assistant to help me consistently start and complete important work. This is not a traditional virtual assistant role. I run several businesses and have no shortage of ideas, projects, or priorities. My challenge is activation. Once I start a task, I usually work well. The difficulty is often getting started, particularly on important tasks that require focus or decision-making. I am looking for somebody who can provide structure, accountability, body doubling, and practical support to help me maintain momentum. Time Commitment Approximately 5 hours per week. This will typically involve: * A daily check-in between 10am and 11am (my preferred working window) * Ongoing accountability via WhatsApp, Slack, or similar * Occasional body-doubling sessions when I need help getting started on a task * A weekly planning session Responsibilities Daily Activation Help me identify: * The most important task for the day * The first step required to begin * Any obstacles or avoidance behaviours getting in the way The objective is simple: get me moving. Accountability You will: * Track commitments and deadlines * Follow up when tasks are not completed * Help identify patterns of procrastination or avoidance * Challenge me respectfully when I am making excuses I need someone who is comfortable saying: “You told me you were going to do this yesterday. What stopped you?” Body Doubling At times I may ask you to join a short Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet session while I begin a task. Examples might include: * Writing a difficult email * Making a phone call * Completing paperwork * Starting a project I have been avoiding You are not doing the work. Your presence helps create momentum and focus. Weekly Planning Review priorities, deadlines, and commitments for the week ahead. Help break large projects into manageable actions. Ideal Candidate You may have experience as: * ADHD coach * Executive assistant * Operations manager * Project manager * Productivity coach * Accountability partner Formal ADHD qualifications are welcome but not essential. More important is your ability to: * Create structure * Hold people accountable * Communicate clearly * Be reliable and organised * Work comfortably with business owners and entrepreneurs What Success Looks Like Success is not measured by how many meetings we have. Success is measured by whether important work gets started and completed. When Applying Please tell me: 1. Why this role interests you. 2. Any experience supporting people with ADHD. 3. How you would help someone who knows exactly what they need to do but struggles to begin. 4. Your hourly rate. 5. Your availability during the hours of 10am–11am Irish time
