Operations & Administrative Coordinator (ABA Therapy) EST Hours | Remote

ISTA Personnel Solutions

is a fast-growing, global BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients' teams, delivering high-quality operational support with precision, efficiency, and professionalism.

We are recruiting on behalf of a growing U.S. healthcare organisation providing

ABA therapy

services, for an Operations & Administrative Coordinator .

Are you someone who's comfortable switching between phone calls, admin, recruitment and data, without losing accuracy or your calm? Do you like structure, but don't need every day to look identical? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

This is a varied, all-round support role. You'll start with a core set of responsibilities and be trained into additional areas over time, so no prior background in healthcare, payroll, or recruitment is required, just a strong work ethic and the ability to learn quickly.

You'll be the connective tissue across several operational functions — handling inbound calls and callbacks, supporting recruitment and credentialing admin, assisting with payroll tasks, and pulling weekly/monthly reporting. You'll take full ownership of your queue while maintaining accuracy and a warm, professional tone with clients, families, and candidates.
