Logging vehicle use and completing a short weekly report

Confidence working alone and taking initiative
Strong organisational skills — we need someone who spots what needs doing and just gets it done

Comfortable with basic record-keeping and using a vehicle logbook
Trustworthy, practical, and professional
⏱ Hours & rate:
10–15 hours per week (flexible days/times by agreement)
Hourly rate based on experience
All tools and equipment provided, or bring your own if you prefer
