My name is Valérie Roger and I am a French lady based in the Mayenne department. The aim of my business is to help the English-speaking community with their French experience. This may be anything from a simple translation to very specialized secretarial, relocation and administrative work. We also provide a personalized property search service.

My business was born from the love of helping people and a passion for the English language. The business was established in 2006, and since then has flourished, as you can see from my client testimonials.

What Locations Do I Cover?

I work in the areas of 53, 61, 35, 50, 72, 85, and 14 but I can travel anywhere in France. My assistance is professional, friendly and I am proud to say that my discretion and reliability are second to none.

Day after day, I try to solve problems, arrange situations and make life easier for the expats or those who own second homes. I am reliable and efficient and  have helped a great many people by solving all sorts of issues that they found too complicated to solve on their own.

For me, no job is too small or too big. I enjoy the challenge of cutting through the red tape and finding the most satisfactory outcome for each of my clients.

We are looking for someone to work in the SOS Anglo office with the following responsibilities:

- Respond to clients by telephone and email

- Driving license exchange

- Registration of vehicles from the United Kingdom

- Following up on business registrations

- Management of Valerie's diary when necessary

- Helping clients with their requirements

FLUENT FRENCH IS ESSENTIAL and you must be comfortable with administrative work (training will be provided). The position will be available in January, on a fixed term contract.

If you are interested email your CV to valerie@sosanglo.com (we will only answer emails with a CV).

If your UK driving licence was issued before 1 January 2021 your UK licence is recognised in France for as long as it is valid. You can only exchange your licence if it is due to expire within 6 months. If you do not have a valid reason to request an exchange, your application will be rejected.

If your UK licence has expired, or has less than 6 months’ validity remaining, you must exchange it for a French licence from 28th June 2021. You do NOT need to take a driving test.

We can help you with driving licence exchanges and you can find details here, along with full details of the information issued by the British government.

During lockdown many people felt isolated and afraid - but for people living far from home and family it can be much worse. But for anyone struggling there is an English-language helpline specifically aimed at foreigners living in France. The SOS Helpline is a long-established charity, but could be particularly useful for people struggling with the current situation - or any aspect of life in France.

You can find out more information on The Local FR website here.
