Red Soup Speech Pathology provides swallowing and communication support to adults and children with acquired brain injuries, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, and progressive neurological conditions. We support clients experiencing communication challenges, including speech, language, cognitive communication, social communication, and swallowing difficulties related to injury or illness. We offer services in clinic and on a mobile basis, with visits to homes, workplaces, and community settings across much of the ACT and surrounding areas of NSW. Our clinic is located in Deakin, ACT, and the organisation focuses on client-centred, functional support in everyday environments.

We are seeking an organised, reliable Administration Assistant to join our team in a permanent part time role (20–25 hours per week across set weekday hours) based in Deakin. This is a genuinely varied role at the heart of our clinic's day-to-day operations, helping us stay accountable and consistent, keep operations running smoothly, and take the administrative load off our clinical team so they can focus on what they do best.

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us over the long term. As our practice expands across Canberra, there’s scope to take on more responsibility and develop your skills. We’ll invest in training you in our systems and processes.

Greeting and welcoming clients as their first point of contact

Working with our clinicians to turn their work, events and updates into engaging content, always respecting client privacy and consent

General administrative support such as scheduling, correspondence, data entry, filing, phone and email management, and other day-to-day AA duties as needed

Who you’ll work with: You’ll work closely with our Director, who splits time between our Canberra and Brisbane locations, and our Administration Manager based in Brisbane. You’ll be key to keeping communication and processes consistent across both sites.
