Type B Speech Pathologist seeking Type A Virtual Assistant 

Two positions currently available

Does any of this excite you?

Excel spreadsheets. Colour-coded systems. Folders within folder within folders. 

If your answer is yes and one of your core skills is organisation or attention to detail then I would love to hear from you.

Dysphagia Bites is an Education Hub for speech pathologists that provides free & low cost resources, a podcast, a comprehensive on-demand course and as of this year a LIVE Workshop. 

I'm looking for virtual assistant (VA) support so I can concentrate on doings the bits I love best: creating content.

This is a genuinely exciting role for someone who wants to get behind the scenes of a growing health education brand, build real skills in digital content and business operations, and be part of something that's making a real difference to how speech pathologists are trained and supported, particularly in community-based dysphagia practice. 

There are two distinct roles available:

1. Virtual Assistant - Contracted Role 

Duties May Include:

• Build and document repeatable processes and workflows
• Set up and organise file structures
• Create tracking spreadsheets for sales, enrolments, and business data
• Establish a content calendar system ready for ongoing use
• Build out brand kit in Canva
• Set up any additional systems needed for smooth day-to-day operations 

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience as a VA or in a business operations / admin role
• Strong organisational skills 
• Proficiency in Canva, Excel, Kajabi (desirable)
• Comfortable working with a solo founder in a small, fast-moving business
• Background in health, education, or digital businesses is a bonus, not a requirement

Fair warning: the current system is held together with the best of intentions and good vibes.

Application Details:

Please send Resume & Cover Letter to: [email protected]

Applications close: Monday 27th July 5pm AEST

NB: as this is a contracted role, please include your hourly rates in your application

2. Virtual Assistant - Ongoing Casual Employee

Duties May Include:

• Repurposing existing content into new formats
• Sourcing b-roll footage for reels
• Designing and polishing social media posts and slide decks in Canva 
• Maintaining the administrative processes that make this business actually run, content calendars, tracking documents, workflows
• Providing online support when Chantelle is delivering live webinars, managing the chat, watching for technical issues
• Helping coordinate attendee communications around webinar delivery

Providing Support with Beyond The Bedside Melbourne Workshop

Later this year, Dysphagia Research Bites is hosting a live, in-person workshop in Melbourne. Three days full of dysphagia, food networking and fun. 

If you're Melbourne-based (or able to be), we'd love for you to be there on the day, helping with setup, materials, attendee experience, and capturing content for social media. It'll be a brilliant addition to your professional portfolio and, honestly, a really fun day.

Not Melbourne-based or can't make it in person? A remote arrangement covering all the digital and admin components of this role is absolutely on the table.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Background in allied health preferred (e.g. SLP student or allied health assistant)
• Comfortable in Canva (you don't need to be an expert but you know enough to be dangerous)
• Organised, reliable, and able to work independently
• Interested in online business, digital content, or health education
• Melbourne-based or able to attend the workshop in person — great bonus, not essential
• No prior VA experience required

Additional Details:

• Casual ongoing arrangement
• Remote work from wherever you are (with on site support for workshop if able)
• Flexible hours around study or other life commitments
• Hourly rate: $34-$40/hr inclusive of casual loading
