This role is:

Key Responsibilities

• Accurately screen, triage and direct calls, or take detailed messages and route them to the right person
• Juggle multiple calls, tasks and systems at once without losing accuracy
• Complete administrative tasks accurately and within required timeframes
• Liaise professionally with internal staff, participants, families and external stakeholders

Skills and Experience

• Proven ability to multitask and stay organised under pressure
• Previous sales or client onboarding experience is desirable, with strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Calm, clear communicator
• Strong attention to detail, even when things are busy
• Switchboard or high-volume reception experience highly regarded
• Comfortable with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel); CRM/Salesforce experience highly regarded
• Experience in NDIS, disability, or allied health is desirable but not essential

Role Requirements

• Excellent, reliable wifi and an ergonomic home office set-up
• A quiet, private space to take calls, free from background noise and interruptions
• Ability to set up equipment provided by LifeAbility
• Availability during school holiday periods

Location

Must be located in Australia, preferably NSW. This is a remote role (Work From Home Office). However, you MUST be available to attend the initial 2-week training as well as periodic training on the Central Coast, NSW.

Benefits and Perks

• Work from home, full-time, Monday to Friday hours – no daily commute or time spent sitting in traffic.
• Be part of a team that genuinely cares about people and aims to bring clarity to our clients
• Opportunity to grow within a reputable and expanding organisation

About You

You are kind, caring, and the type of person who loves to be busy. You can be mid-call, have three tabs open, and still sound calm and friendly on the phone. You take pride in being reliable, accurate, and easy to work with, even when things are moving fast.

Pay: $35.00 per hour

• Tell us about a time you had to juggle an incoming call, a task you were mid-way through, and an email that needed sending - all at once. How did you manage this?
• In a previous role, describe a time the phone didn't stop ringing. How did you keep your voice and manner consistent on call 20 versus call 2?
• How would you manage taking back-to-back calls with people who are sometimes stressed, upset, or in a hurry?
