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.

- 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

- 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
