Rostering and Scheduling
Scheduling Assistant
A remote assistant who coordinates appointments, bookings and recurring schedules using your existing systems, so the calendar stays organised and current.
Role overview
What this role covers.
A Scheduling Assistant keeps schedules and bookings organised. The role manages appointments and recurring schedules, makes calendar changes, sends confirmations and follows up where needed, all within your existing systems. The support is shaped around how you schedule work, so the calendar stays accurate and easy to rely on.
Why this role exists
The work that keeps slipping needs an owner.
Scheduling is a constant stream of small tasks. Bookings, changes, confirmations and follow-ups add up, and a disorganised calendar leads to missed or double-booked appointments.
A Scheduling Assistant gives this work consistent ownership, so the calendar stays current and bookings are handled in an orderly way.
