Customer Service Representative (Part Time)

A Career With a Heart and a Future. If you like helping people, want to feel supported in your work, and are looking to build a meaningful, work-from-home career — this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Every day, people call the AlgaeCal helpline after receiving devastating news about their bone health. They’re scared. Confused. Sometimes even in tears. But after speaking with you, they’ll feel hopeful, empowered, and supported.

This is not your typical customer service role. Far from it! At AlgaeCal, we call our team Bone Health Consultants — because that’s what they become. You’ll receive extensive, hands-on training to guide each person with accuracy, care, and compassion. It’s a serious responsibility. And for the right person, it’s also an incredibly fulfilling path.

This is a part-time, work-from-home position ideal for someone looking to work up to 30 hours a week between 9:00am and 3:00pm PT (though not necessarily for the full six hours each day).

You’ll need a quiet, distraction-free environment, strong communication skills, and the ability to stay fully present on every call. We’re not looking for someone to “get through the day” — we’re looking for someone ready to grow into a role that truly matters.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Because for the right person, the sky’s the limit.

This opportunity is tailor-made for you if:

You’re highly motivated to work at home. You’ve got a solid customer service background. You are passionate about natural health. You’re organized. You’re humble. You love to support and inspire others. You don’t just accept feedback – you WANT feedback, because you’re hungry to be better than you were yesterday.

So if you want to work with some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. And you want to feel good about making a difference in the world –– all while learning about natural health and working in a well organized and supportive workplace –– send us your resume. And BTW… some of our senior executives started out in this role –– so if you’ve got the talent, there’s no telling where this job might take you :)

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

  • $25 per hour with the opportunity to increase rapidly as training targets are met.
  • A top-notch Mac computer. We want you to have the best tools.
  • Supported professional development and continued learning through training and coaching.
  • This role requires availability for one weekend day.

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.
