There are companies that offer a range of secretarial services, which might be a help. However, what this person appears to be seeking is something along the lines of a "Bank Secretary". Hospitals have "Nurse Banks" - a pool of staff who come in as and when required and work in the posts that are suitable for their grade and skills.
The nearest thing to this in admin support would be a "zero hours" contract. A company would have to build up quite a large pool of people with the right skills. The individuals would have to be trained in company procedures and business..
It's not a particularly good situation, and I can see all sorts of elephant traps in this arrangement. One would have to have in writing things like: holidays, sick leave and sick pay, pension status etc etc. As long as an employer was not trying to avoid the responsibilities he would have to a full-time, permanently employed person, then this arrangement could work. On the other hand, it could be so cumbersome as to be unworkable. In which case, a temp is the best thing.
My two bitz,
