Content + Podcast Virtual Assistant

Part-time | 3–5 hours per week | Long-term opportunity

Hi! I’m Lauretta 👋
I’m an Australian Midwife, Birth Educator and women’s health practitioner. I run my own business, Midwife Lauretta, providing birth education, online courses, pregnancy and pelvic bodywork and other women’s health services.
I also host The Midwife Memos podcast, create educational content for Instagram and have an online education platform through Podia.

My business has grown to the point where I need another pair of hands behind the scenes!
I’m looking for a creative, reliable and tech-confident VA who can take the content and ideas I create and help turn them into polished, engaging content across my platforms.

This will initially be around 3–5 hours per week, with opportunities for additional hours during launches, free classes and other projects.

I’m hoping to find someone who wants to work with me long term and really get to know my brand, voice and audience.

What I’d love your help with;

• Podcast, I host The Midwife Memos, and I’d love someone who can help take an episode from recording to ready to publish.

This may include:

• Editing podcast audio and/or video
• Removing obvious mistakes, long pauses and repeated sections
• Adding intro/outro where required
• Creating short clips and Reels from episodes
• Preparing episodes for upload
• Formatting show notes
• Instagram + content
• I create plenty of ideas and content. I need help turning it into polished content that is actually ready for me to share!

This may include:
Editing short-form video and Reels
Turning podcast episodes and longer videos into short-form content
Creating simple Canva carousels and graphics using my existing branding
Repurposing existing content rather than constantly reinventing the wheel
Helping me keep content organised
Helping make sure I’m creating content across the different parts of my business, not just birth education
I will provide the education, ideas and key messaging. I don’t expect you to be an expert in birth or women’s health or to create clinical or educational information yourself.
I want someone who can take what I give you and make it look great and still sound and feel like me.

Podia + online education
I currently use Podia for my online birth education and will be expanding what I offer through the platform.

I’d love help with:
Uploading and organising videos, lessons and resources
Formatting course and membership content
Uploading masterclass replays
Helping organise and maintain content within Podia
Assisting with email setup and formatting when needed
Podia experience would be amazing but isn’t essential if you’re confident with technology and have experience using similar platforms such as Kajabi, Teachable or Thinkific.
Launch + project support
From time to time I run free birth classes, education for midwives and other launches or events.
During these periods, there may be additional paid hours available to help with things such as:
Setting up and formatting email s
Landing pages and course setup
Uploading resources
Webinar and masterclass organisation
General launch support

You might be perfect for this role if:

You are a really good video and content editor, not simply someone who knows the basics of Canva.

You have experience editing podcasts or long-form audio/video.

You understand Instagram and short-form content.

You’re comfortable using Canva.

You’re confident learning new software and online platforms.

You’re organised and can work independently once you understand what I need.

You communicate well and aren’t afraid to ask questions.

You have excellent attention to detail.

You can work with confidential business information and respect the intellectual property contained within my courses and resources.

And importantly, you can learn my brand and make things feel like me, rather than turning everything into generic social media content.

Experience working with an Australian business, health professional, educator, course creator or podcaster would be a bonus.

Hours:
Initially 3–5 hours per week, with the potential for additional hours during launches and projects.
I’m looking for someone who would ideally like to grow with the business over time.

How to apply
Please send me:

• A little about you and why you’re interested in working with Midwife Lauretta.
• Examples of 2–3 Reels or short-form videos you’ve personally edited.
• An example of a podcast or longer-form video you’ve edited, if available.
• Which programs you currently use for video and podcast editing.
• Your experience with Canva.
• Whether you’ve used Podia or another online course or membership platform.
• Your current availability each week.
• Your hourly rate in AUD.
• Your internet speed/reliability and usual working setup.
• If You are comfortable signing a confidentiality and intellectual property agreement as part of the role

Please also start your application with the words “MIDWIFE LAURETTA” so I know you’ve read the full job description. 😊
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete a small paid editing trial before I make a final decision.
I’m excited to find someone who can take some of the behind-the-scenes workload off my plate and become a long-term part of Midwife Lauretta as the business grows.
