SalaryLet’s jump right into it, shall we? We like to keep fast-paced, energetic and moving around here! We’re a Chiropractic practice in Kadina, South Australia and we have your dream job waiting for you…
Want to use your natural gifts as a communicator and bringer-togetherer-of people? Want to enrol people into an environment, space and health philosophy that you know will change their life?
Want to get paid to chat with people, support them and genuinely get to know their dreams, goals and desires for their health and life?
We are hiring a Chiropractic Assistant to engage and connect with the people we currently see, as well as potential clients out in the community. This role involves outreach, high-quality service, administration tasks and supporting people through their journey of Chiropractic care and a wellness-focussed life.
We’re looking for you if:
- You have an attention to detail and can buy into an established vision and culture, you are down-to-earth, relatable and authentic. You just love life and take notice of what you need to do to love it a little bit more every day.
- You’re the sort of person who loves to chat about the things you learn, and the things that have changed your life, and you want to tell allll of your friends about why they need it in their life.
- You’re a listener. You genuinely care about other people’s lives, getting to know them and supporting them to reach their own goals. The thrill of people achieving cool stuff makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning!
- You know that being of service is engaging and rewarding, you are willing to learn and experience new ways of doing things and you have a fire in your belly to make an impact on this world.
We may be biased, but we think we have the coolest, most uplifting and inspiring place of work, ever. Filled with profound awakenings and infinite possibilities, we really believe we are changing the world one adjustment at a time – that’s a cool thing to be part of!
That said, it’s not all sunshine and puppy dogs… we have some good news for you AND some less good news for you.
So let’s get the bad news out of the way first:
>> Our hours may start out a little weird as you transition into the role. You’ll start with around 10 hours per week and we will be looking to grow and expand this role with your support. We tend to do 3-4 hour shifts and you will start with 3 shifts per week (it’s actually good news for those of you who do not suit a 9-5 role… that’s not really our jam either, lifestyle matters!) BUT we do need some flexibility & commitment. So if you wanted to squeeze in a side-hustle and 6 other jobs, this is no longer the ‘coolest job in the world’ for you.
>> Your on-the-job training will start with understanding our culture and procedures, which may be challenging for the type of person we’re looking for… the person who wants to jump in and start getting to know everyone and is excited about their new role! You may also be required to go to Adelaide once a month for ongoing training – we can discuss this in more detail with you, as we have some flexibility with it (we know it’s tricky for parents with young children to do this and we don’t want to rule you out!)
>> We are open at strange hours. We start at 7am for our morning shifts and finish at around 6:30pm for our afternoon shifts BUT we have a 3-4 hour break in the middle of the day (nap time or lunch dates anyone?)
>> We need someone to start ASAP. We understand that you may need to give your current job notice, so we can be flexible with your start date, but ideally we’d love someone ready to start as soon as possible (mid May at the latest). We told you we move fast…
>> We do expect flexibility and commitment to the practice. Whilst we understand family life and other schedules, we also spend a lot of time supporting and training our team members so it makes it very tricky to get someone to fill in at short notice.
So now let’s chat about the good stuff!
>> You’ll be part of a fun and dynamic team, working alongside our Chiropractor in Kadina, whilst also having the support of the Chiropractors and other Chiropractic Assistants at The Chiro Crew practice in Adelaide. You’ll be involved in many aspects of the way we run our practice - we believe everyone is innately intelligent and has their own superhero strengths… we want to give you a chance to let yours shine too.
>> We aren’t that big on stress. After all, we are regularly adjusted by our Chiropractors! Whilst we do expect high standards of work, precision, efficiency and care-factor, we also value effective communication and having the systems in place that mean we can get things done right the first time so that things don’t get chaotic and stressful.
>> Your life is important to us. We want to get to know your partner, children or other family members. We want you to thrive not only AT work, but in your life. We are clear on boundaries, but we know you are a whole person, not just a worker. We would love you to be part of the local community or within a 30 min drive of our practice.
>> You will experience, see and be part of amazing things in your time with us that you’d never get in a big, stuffy, corporate workspace. This role is a combination of a support role, admin role and sales role BUT we don’t like jolty or compartmentalised jobs either so we’ll help you find an aligned and common vision to bring these aspects together to help your role flow more smoothly. You’ll have the opportunity to help us make decisions, as well as getting stuck into some of our more detailed tasks - we value the voice of our whole team. You’ll also meet some incredible people through your everyday interactions!
>> Your views and intrapreneurial drive are welcomed. We love our team members keeping each other accountable and on purpose, so there is no hierarchy around here. Just specific roles and an aligned vision to support each other’s work and creativity.
>> You don’t have to run our business! Many have been burned by this in small business before. We have strong leadership, values, culture and purpose already, so while we love your input on this, you get the freedom to contribute without having the pressure of actually running your own business or building an empire. This job is for you if you’re not wanting to build your own business and you love the support of a like-minded team to just be yourself.
>> You will be part of a focussed and committed team. We have weekly team meetings and monthly team training sessions. Growth (personally and professionally) is our vibe!
Now let’s chat a bit more about the job requirements:
- You must be the sort of person who has the patience to allow things to be considered by the team and aligned with our purpose, values, systems and procedures, but then also the sort of person who gets things done. Each shift you will have a list of stuff to complete. Fun stuff. Important stuff. Necessary stuff.
- You’ll be working with iPads, new programs and social media. An understanding of computers, social media, email, navigating the web and other technological things is necessary. You’ll also need to be able to quickly pick up the specific clinical programs that we use, with the training we provide.
- You’ll be face-to-face with people a lot, so you must enjoy engaging with people and working with the Chiropractor for the best way to support people with their care.
- You must be the sort of person who loves delivering exceptional service to the people we see - going above and beyond to make their experience in our practice enjoyable, and for our shifts to flow smoothly.
- You need to rock the details. We’ve learnt this one the hard way! Rushing through something and doing it half-assed doesn’t help anyone - allow yourself to slow down and get things right. And THEN make sure you’re being efficient and effective with your role.
- If you’re not the life of the party, that’s ok. In fact, it’s perfect. It’s important that this job is taken seriously, that the people we see are important to you and that you are relatable and caring with them. That said, a sense of humour does help around here! We take the Chiropractic care that we provide SO seriously, that we get a little crazy if we don’t joke around every now and then.
- You must be the sort of person who loves to learn and chat about their experiences (and be aware of social cues for when the time is right) as this role will also involve some community outreach and marketing.
In short, your role is to cover 4 main areas: care for the people we see, administration tasks, team commitment and community outreach. And of course, have fun! Who wants to be in a boring position?!? Our office is casual and yet we expect professionalism, high levels of service and punctuality.
What we don’t expect is perfection. We’re anti-perfection. We expect intelligence, energy, common-sense, honesty, a great attitude and a coachable personality (open to feedback). When you have questions, we’ll firstly make sure you don’t already have the answer within you (that’s so annoying when people turn it back on you, isn’t it?!) and then we’ll support you to get the answer. We don’t expect existing skills - we will provide a full training program to learn everything you need to know here.
You are not expected to know anything about Chiropractic already but are expected to be willing and ready to learn about it in depth.

If this is a position that gets you so excited that you’d do it for free, we are open to that. If you prefer compensation (we also get that… we prefer to get paid for what we do too) here’s the offer:
- Casual position starting at $32/hour (lower starting rate for training and 3 month probationary period)
- Position can move to permanent for the right person as the role grows
- 8-12 hours/week to begin with (with the aim to move towards 15-20 hours/week, although we are also willing to hire a second person for the additional hours if you find approx. 10 hours/week is perfect for you)
In additional to being a detailed person, you must follow systems and procedures. We find procedures super exciting because it allows us to live with freedom and flow! Everything runs so much more smoothly and we have more time for the fun stuff! In fact just to prove you can do this, when you apply for this position please put “I think you’re my peeps” in the subject line. Yep, that’s our little trick to sort the people who blanket send resumes to anyone and everyone, from the real deal (that’s you!) who are truly interested.
To apply, send an email to *********@gmail.com telling us a little bit more about yourself and why you’re interested in the position, as well as your cover letter and resume.
We can’t wait to meet you!
NOTE:
We will begin interviews on Monday 15th April (after hours, lunchtime and weekend interviews available). If successful in your application, you will hear from us by email to offer you an interview – please keep an eye on your junk folder too. Once the position is filled, this ad will no longer be up. Until then, applications are open!
