The Role

You will provide information, education, coaching, and resources on asthma and linked conditions to support people with asthma and their carers. Asthma Australia offers an information line for people with asthma, and those who care for them, for asthma management questions. There is also a structured phone coaching programme for people with Asthma where you will lead clients through structured questions, identifying gaps based on guidelines, providing information and setting clear goals for them to reach.

You will spend approximately 70% of your day on the phone helping people. You will enter data online as you go and ensure the system is up to date after each coaching session. Feedback to the client and their GP, via a report, is then completed. Additional time may be spent applying your health knowledge to contribute to in house information and training resources.

• Formal qualifications in health, nursing, allied health or similar.
