Location: Remote – South Africa Working Hours: US Hours (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST) Salary: R 23,500–26,000
About the Role
We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and people-focused Clinical Compliance Coordinator to support a US-based healthcare organisation operating within the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy space.
The successful candidate will be responsible for monitoring outstanding clinical documentation, following up with therapists and clinical staff, and ensuring that required session notes, records and administrative tasks are completed accurately and on time.
This role requires someone who is comfortable following up consistently with staff, managing outstanding tasks and maintaining accountability while communicating professionally and respectfully.
This is not a traditional clinical or compliance officer position. It is a hands-on coordination role that supports clinical operations by keeping documentation up to date, resolving outstanding items and ensuring that important follow-ups do not fall through the cracks.
Previous experience in healthcare administration, clinical operations, quality assurance, scheduling, staff coordination or a similar environment would be highly beneficial.

- Monitor deadlines and ensure overdue items receive appropriate attention.
