Personal Assistant & Vlogger/Content Creator

Description:

Job Title: Personal Assistant & Vlogger/Content Creator

Location: Pietermaritzburg

Schedule: 4 Days a Week | 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Start Date: ASAP

The Mission:

We are looking for more than just an assistant; we are looking for a storyteller. We need a compassionate, creative individual to support Mala Naidoo, a research scientist and the Author of “A Flaming Challenge”, and help document her journey with autoimmune conditions.

The goal is to inspire others by sharing the real story, capturing both the difficult days and the beautiful moments. You will be Mala’s right-hand person, helping her navigate her day while creating engaging vlogs that show the reality of her life.

What You Will Do:

• Vlogging & Storytelling (Primary Focus): You will document daily life. This means capturing high-quality video content of the "good" (victories, outings, fun) and the "bad" (flare-ups, fatigue, challenges). You must be able to edit these into compelling vlogs for social media that inspire empathy and hope.

  • The Foodie Element: A love for food is a huge bonus! Whether it’s filming a healthy meal being prepped, visiting a market, or enjoying a treat, food is a big part of the joy we want to capture.

    • Compassionate Support: Acting as a supportive presence from 11am to 7pm. This includes driving Mala to appointments, running errands, and being a patient companion.

      • Social Media Management: Writing engaging, grammatically perfect captions and managing the online community.

        
        

        Who You Are:

        • A Natural Storyteller: You know how to spot a "moment" and capture it on your phone without being intrusive.

        • Emotionally Intelligent: You understand when to film and when to put the camera down. You are comfortable seeing and documenting the reality of chronic illness with respect and kindness.

        • Fluent in English: You have an excellent command of spoken and written English. You will be the voice of the brand online, so your writing must be professional and engaging.

        • A Food Lover: You appreciate good food and can make it look great on camera!

          
          

          Logistics & Requirements:

          • Schedule: Must be available 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM, 4 days a week.

          • Transport: Must have a valid driver’s license and reliable transport to get to work and safely home after 7pm.

          • Tech Skills: Proficient in video editing apps (CapCut, InShot, etc.) and social media platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook).

            
            

            Why This Role?

            • Impact: Your work will help inspire thousands of people dealing with similar health battles.

            • Creativity: You will have the creative freedom to produce vlogs and content that matters.

            • Atmosphere: Work in a warm, family-oriented environment where food and care are central.
