Casual Robot Companion Facilitator - Rurally… at Andromeda · Ballan

The Bigger Picture

At Andromeda Robotics, we’re not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships, we’re building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to the people who need it most. Backed by tier-1 investors and with customers already deploying Abi across aged care and healthcare, we’re scaling fast, and we’re doing it with an engineering-first culture that’s obsessed with pushing the limits of what’s possible.

This is a rare moment to join: we’re post-technical validation, pre-ubiquity, and building out the team that will take Abi from early access to global scale.

Our Values

• Empathy - Kindness and compassion are at the heart of everything we do.
• Play - Play sharpens focus. It keeps us curious, fast and obsessed with the craft.
• Never Settle - A relentless ambition, bias toward action, and uncomfortable levels of curiosity.
• Tenacity - Tenacious under pressure, we assume chaos and stay in motion to adapt and progress.
• Unity - Different minds. Shared mission. No passengers.

The Role

More and more aged care homes are welcoming Abi the robot into their facilities, and with our rapid growth into rural communities, we are looking for enthusiastic and compassionate individuals to join our team, on a contracting basis, as Robot Companion Facilitator, or as we like to call it, our very own Robot Wranglers.

In this role, you’ll represent Andromeda Robotics and our mission to reduce loneliness and spark joy through technology. You’ll work alongside Abi, our empathetic AI companion, to engage with residents and patients in nursing homes and children’s hospitals through conversation, games, and music.

You’ll lead group sessions and one-on-one interactions with Abi, helping to foster genuine connections, bring energy, and make every session enjoyable for all participants.

We're hoping to see applications from people based in Wangaratta, Bendigo, Healesville, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan & Ballarat :)

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Facilitate Group Sessions: Lead engaging and interactive group activities with Abi, including games and exercises designed to stimulate cognitive and social responses
• Conduct One-on-One Interactions: Facilitate meaningful and personalised conversations with residents and patients, enhancing their experience with Abi
• Work with Technology: You don’t need to be highly technical — just confident and curious. You’ll be comfortable operating Abi, troubleshooting basic issues, and working in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment where adaptability is key
• Monitor and Adapt: Assess the needs and responses of participants, adapting activities and interactions to suit individual preferences and abilities
• Manage Session Logistics: Ensure sessions start and end on time, maintain and set up equipment, communicate effectively with care home professionals, and provide structured feedback for continuous improvement
• Represent the Brand: You’ll be an ambassador for Andromeda Robotics, embodying our professionalism, warmth, and innovation in every interaction with residents, staff, and partners

• Excellent People Skills: Ability to connect with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, creating a welcoming and positive environment
• Public Speaking: Strong verbal communication skills and confidence speaking in front of groups
• Genuine Interest in Technology: While you don’t need specialist technical skills, you should be comfortable learning and working with innovative products in a dynamic, hands-on environment
• Energetic: Outgoing personality with a passion for engaging with others and bringing energy to sessions
• Caring Attitude and Community Focus: A desire to give back to the community and enhance quality of life for residents and patients
• Valid Driver’s License: Ability to drive to different locations as needed, preferably with a car.

The total compensation package may also include additional benefits or components based on the specific role. Details will be provided if an employment offer is made. Given this is a casual agreement, the salary will be in the form of an hourly rate.
