How to Apply for Healthcare Assistant

at Arrhythmia Alliance

🏢 About Arrhythmia Alliance

Arrhythmia Alliance is a unique charity group focused on improving diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for people with heart rhythm disorders. Working here means contributing directly to patient support across multiple charities (including AF Association and STARS) while staying at the forefront of cardiac care advancements. The organization's remote-first approach with occasional travel offers flexibility while maintaining meaningful patient connections.

About This Role

This Healthcare Assistant role provides direct patient support through multiple channels (phone, email, forums) while maintaining patient documentation and helping develop medically-approved resources. You'll impact patients daily by offering empathetic, informed responses about arrhythmia conditions and treatments, while also supporting charity events like World Heart Rhythm Week. The role bridges patient services with content development and event coordination across the charity group.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by checking the Patient Services Mailbox and responding to overnight inquiries, then take patient calls about arrhythmia symptoms while updating their records. After lunch, you could review draft patient resources for medical accuracy, then prepare social media content for an upcoming heart rhythm awareness event. The day balances direct patient support with behind-the-scenes work to improve patient information across the charity group.
