Is there a word or phrase for doing a favour or helping someone because you are in a better position than they are to get it done?

Or, for instance, I might walk to the shop for my grandmother because she’s elderly, but not for my brother because I’m in no better position to that than he is.
Is there a phrase to summarise this kind of situation?

I would use the word utilitarianism. Altruism may be also another good fit. The person who behaves in such way is called either an utilitarian or an altruist.
According to Collins (http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/utilitarianism#utilitarianism_1)
utilitarianism
noun (ethics):
1) the doctrine that the morally correct course of action consists in the greatest good for the greatest number, that is, in maximizing the total benefit resulting, without regard to the distribution of benefits and burdens
Also according to Collins (http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/altruism)
altruism
noun:
1) the principle or practice of unselfish concern for the welfare of others
2) the philosophical doctrine that right action is that which produces the greatest benefit to others

The cowboy in your example is known as the right man for the job (eventually this has been vitiated into the right person for the job).
So, while you may struggle herding cattle, when a cowboy comes along, he is clearly the right man for the job.

You might call the person who fills this role the «go-to person» or the «helper of first resort» for the individual in need of help. But obviously the person supplying the help doesn’t have the formal status of, say, a «first responder» such as an emergency medical technician, a police officer, or a fire fighter, so there may not be a more precise term for someone in that situation.
