Admissions Advisor

Admissions Advisor California Healing Arts College (CHAC) | Carson, CA 90746 | Full-time | On-site $25.00–$38.00 per hour (placement based on experience)

About California Healing Arts College

Founded in 1998, California Healing Arts College (CHAC) is a trade school in Carson, CA preparing students for hands-on careers in healthcare and the skilled trades. Our programs include Medical Assistant, Veterinary Assistant, Massage Therapist, Physical Therapy Aide, and Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R).

Our mission is to provide quality, value-driven training that equips students with the skills and competencies they need for entry-level positions in their chosen fields, to connect our graduates with employment opportunities, and to foster an environment of teamwork, personal growth, and respect for every individual on our campus.

We serve a student body that reflects the communities we're part of: first-generation college students, working adults, career changers, and recent high school graduates. What ties them together is a shared goal — building a real career in less time than a traditional degree takes.

We're proud of our job placement rates and even prouder of what our students tell us. In graduate and student satisfaction surveys, the message is consistent: our team genuinely cares, and students feel it. That culture isn't an accident — it's the product of staff who see admissions, instruction, and student support as connected parts of the same mission.

About the Role

We're hiring an Admissions Advisor to be the first point of contact for prospective students exploring our programs. This is a consultative, phone-forward role: you'll manage a pipeline of inbound leads, conduct discovery conversations, guide qualified candidates through enrollment, and support them until their first day of class. We're looking for candidates that are dedicated and passionate about their role.

If you've thrived in a sales or high-touch customer service environment and want to apply those skills to something with real impact on people's lives — helping someone start a career in healthcare, animal care, wellness, or the trades — we'd like to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Engage prospective students via phone, email, text, and in-person meetings, with a focus on responsive, high-volume outreach
• Conduct needs assessments to determine program fit across our healthcare and HVAC-R programs
• Walk applicants through admissions requirements and next steps
• Manage your lead pipeline in our CRM, keeping records accurate and follow-ups timely
• Represent CHAC at recruitment events, info sessions, and campus tours
• Partner with faculty, financial aid, and student services to ensure smooth handoffs
• Support enrolled students through their start date to improve retention

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 3+ years of experience in a sales, lead-conversion, or high-volume client-facing role. Backgrounds we've seen succeed include inside sales, call centers, appointment setting, mortgage or insurance sales, financial services, healthcare intake, and hospitality.
• Comfort with high call volume and structured outreach cadences
• Strong written and verbal communication; you can hold a real conversation, not just read a script
• Reliable, organized, and able to manage a pipeline independently
• Genuine interest in working with first-generation students, working adults, and career changers
• Authorization to work in the U.S. and ability to commute to Carson, CA

Preferred:

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution
• Prior admissions, enrollment, or higher-ed experience
• Familiarity with Velocify, Ellucian, or similar CRM/SIS platforms
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)

Schedule

Full-time, on-site at our Carson campus. Some evening or Saturday hours may be required during peak enrollment periods.
