Recruitment & Client Support Virtual Assistant (NDIS/ Aged Care)

Our client is a registered NDIS provider delivering mentoring, support work and group programs across South Australia and Queensland, with around 118 staff and 280 participants. They help people build skills, develop confidence and receive the support they need in their day-to-day lives. Recruitment, report preparation and after-hours phone cover are pulling their local recruiter, team leaders and managers away from other work, so they are looking for a reliable, organised Virtual Assistant to take these on.

• We are looking for a reliable, organised Virtual Assistant to support three key areas: recruitment, participant report preparation and after-hours phone support.

• You will screen applicants, conduct pre-screen calls, arrange interviews, prepare draft participant reports using the client's systems, and assist staff and families with enquiries and roster changes.

• The scale is real. Each job advertisement can bring in 200 to 300 applicants, and around 240 participant reports are needed every four months, so organisation and attention to detail are essential.

• Excellent customer service and clear, confident spoken and written English are essential. Previous NDIS experience, particularly in rostering or service coordination, will be highly regarded. Training will be provided in the client's systems, processes and reporting requirements.

• The client's recruiter and managers interview and choose every hire, and Team Leaders review and finalise every report. This role prepares, checks and supports, and escalates anything outside its authority.

• This is a home-based role, working as part of the client's team. The client is also moving to a new CRM, so being quick to learn new systems matters.

To give the client's recruiter a steady flow of suitable, well-screened applicants with clear notes and organised interview bookings, to prepare accurate and well-checked draft participant reports for Team Leader review, and to provide calm, professional after-hours and weekend phone and rostering support for participants, families and staff.

• Review resumes against current recruitment priorities, including location, availability, relevant experience and role requirements

• Identify applicants suited to specific service areas, for example candidates available to work in North Brisbane

• Use an AI screening tool to help review large volumes of applications, and check the results before relying on them

• Conduct phone pre-screens using an agreed checklist to confirm suitability, communication skills, availability and required credentials

• Maintain accurate applicant records, including screening outcomes and any outstanding information

• Book suitable applicants into the Recruiter's calendar for interviews and provide clear screening notes

• Communicate professionally with applicants and follow up where information is missing

• Monitor the CRM for upcoming quarterly and end-of-plan reports

• Download the relevant case notes and access the participant's recorded goals and profile information

• Use the client's approved AI reporting agent to generate draft reports

• Review drafts against the client's reporting guidelines, checking that the correct participant and reporting period are used, information is clear, consistent and easy to understand, goals align with those recorded in the participant's profile, statements about progress are supported by the case notes, and obvious errors, contradictions or missing information are flagged

• Refer unclear information to the relevant Team Leader rather than making assumptions

• Prepare drafts for Team Leader review and follow-through, and keep report status records up to date

• Note: this role prepares and checks draft reports. Team Leaders remain responsible for reviewing and finalising them

• Act as the primary phone contact between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on rostered working days, and provide coverage during agreed weekend shifts

• Respond warmly and professionally to calls from participants, families and staff

• Assist with cancellations, staff availability, shift changes and other routine roster enquiries

• Make roster adjustments within training, approved procedures and delegated authority

• Record calls, actions taken and outstanding follow-up clearly in the appropriate system

• Escalate urgent matters, incidents, safety concerns and issues outside your authority to the designated Team Leader or on-call contact

• Provide clear handovers so outstanding matters can be followed through

• Follow documented procedures and help document processes as tasks are handed over, so each task has an SOP

• Take part in team chats and meetings and build relationships with local colleagues

Please submit a CV along with a short cover note outlining your years of relevant experience, whether you have worked with Australian clients, any NDIS, rostering or recruitment experience, and your availability for the working hours and weekend roster, including your notice period. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted to progress to the next stage of the process, which includes a phone screen and a recorded video interview.
