Scheduling & Customer Support Virtual Assistant

South Africa

Role brief

What this role is asking for.

Overview

Our client is a long-established (50+ years), Florida-based mobile swim school that schedules instructors across multiple regions.

We are seeking a highly organized, fast-paced, customer-focused Virtual Assistant to support scheduling, inbound communication, and operational coordination.

This role is not entry-level — the ideal candidate can think quickly, handle pressure, and operate independently without hand-holding.

Key Responsibilities

Scheduling & Coordination (CORE)

  • Schedule swim instructors across multiple Florida regions
  • Ensure efficient route planning (minimize travel time between lessons)
  • Understand territory logistics (Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Orlando, etc.)
  • Make quick scheduling decisions in real-time

Customer Communication

  • Answer inbound calls professionally
  • Respond to parents via phone, SMS, and email
  • Maintain a high-level customer service tone at all times
  • Handle follow-ups and inquiries promptly

System & Admin Support

  • Work within Go High Level (GHL) for:
  • Scheduling
  • Communication
  • Payments tracking
  • Use internal app to manage operations
  • Send messages, flyers, and updates to clients

Requirements (MUST-HAVES)

  • 3–4+ years experience in admin, scheduling, or operations
  • Strong English communication (spoken + written)
  • Comfortable handling phone calls with US clients
  • Ability to work fast under pressure (real-time scheduling)
  • Highly tech-savvy and quick learner
  • Strong organizational + problem-solving skills

Nice-to-Haves

  • Familiarity with US geography (especially Florida)
  • Experience with Go High Level (GHL)
  • Customer service background (bonus if dealing with parents)
  • Mature, relatable personality (e.g. can confidently handle “difficult” clients)

Not a Fit If:

  • You need constant guidance or training
  • You struggle with fast-paced environments
  • You have a strong accent that may cause communication friction
  • You are junior / entry-level

Growth Opportunity

  • High potential to move from Part-Time → Full-Time quickly
  • Opportunity to support a growing franchise network
