How It Works

A clear process from your first request through to completion.

Discovery

I start with a short discussion to confirm what you need support with (Operations, Reporting, SHEQ administration, or a combination), what is most urgent, and what you want to achieve.

What We Discuss

  • The area or combination of areas you need support with.

  • Priorities, deadlines, and any audit or reporting dates.

Outcome

  • A clear understanding of your needs and priorities.

  • The most suitable support option: Sprint, Retainer, or Ad Hoc.

  • Agreed next steps and initial deliverables.

Support Options

Support is available through a Sprint, Retainer or Ad Hoc arrangement, depending on the type of work, urgency and how often support is needed.

Sprint
(Once-off Project)

A focused project with a clear start and finish, delivered with a structured handover.

Best for:
You can expect:

  • A defined scope and timeline.

  • Clear deliverables.

  • A handover so you can maintain the system going forward.

  • Setting up or reorganising document control systems, trackers, or registers.

  • Structured backlog clean-up across administration, reporting, or contractor SHEQ records.

  • Building document templates, reporting formats, meeting agenda and minute templates, or action registers.

  • Organising folders, consistent file naming and business records.

Retainer
(Monthly Support)

Ongoing support across the month, with allocated hours and consistent routines.

Best for:
You can expect:

  • Set hours per month.

  • Regular check-ins or updates.

  • Continuity, with recurring tasks maintained consistently.

  • Ongoing administrative coordination, minute-taking, and follow-ups.

  • Regular tracker maintenance and monthly reporting.

  • Ongoing document and records maintenance.

  • Ongoing contractor SHEQ administration, including record maintenance, expiry tracking, document follow-ups and audit-pack preparation.

Ad Hoc
(Task-Based Support)

Flexible support for individual tasks, urgent needs or overflow work.

Best for:
You can expect:

  • Defined task list upfront.

  • Turnaround based on urgency and availability.

  • Clear confirmation when tasks are complete.

  • Minute-taking for a specific meeting, including annual or committee meetings.

  • Overflow administration or urgent document updates.

  • Short data-capturing tasks, tracker updates, or reporting support.

  • Small, clearly defined record clean-ups or document follow-ups.

Delivery & Updates

How Delivery Works

  • Tasks and priorities are tracked using a simple tracker, checklist, or action list, where appropriate.

  • Work is completed according to the agreed scope, priorities, and timelines.

How Updates Work

  • Progress updates are provided at agreed intervals or key stages.

  • Updates show what is:

    • In progress

    • Completed

    • Awaiting input

  • Any questions, blockers, or possible delays are raised early.

What You Get

  • Reliable follow-through on agreed tasks and deliverables.

  • Clear visibility of what has been completed, what is outstanding, and what happens next.

Once the scope and support option are confirmed, work begins according to agreed priorities and timelines, with progress tracked and updates provided throughout.
