ABOUT BIZ:
We work alongside schools, youth organisations, mental health teams, and other complex settings to strengthen wellbeing at every level, starting with the professionals who care for others. I deliver training, co-design implementation plans, write blogs and host a podcast.

SUPPORT NEEDED:
I’m looking for a values-aligned assistant who can provide 5–10 hours per week of ongoing subcontracted support (with their own ABN) to help me manage the operational, administrative, and marketing foundations of my trauma-informed wellbeing consultancy, Wagtail Institute. My work spans education, disability, youth, social care, and community sectors, so I’m seeking someone who is organised, relational, and ideally has an interest in trauma-informed practice, education, wellbeing, or the helping professions. Key areas of support include inbox and calendar management, coordinating client bookings and follow-ups, preparing proposals, managing travel logistics, updating documents and templates, tracking invoices and travel, and keeping project timelines moving. A significant part of the role is marketing support — helping with podcast uploads, preparing newsletters, scheduling social media content, updating website pages, managing digital products, and supporting the creation and delivery of online events or promotions (you don’t need to write in my voice, just support the backend and scheduling). The role will grow over time, so I’m looking for someone who is proactive, detail-focused, trustworthy with sensitive information, and comfortable working independently within a values-led, purpose-driven small business. Experience supporting consultants, educators, allied health professionals, or mission-led organisations is a strong advantage.
