Program Educational Facilitator @ disability support start up

Overview

Program Educational Facilitator for Young Adults with disabilities (17-35, low support needs) role with Co-Hive, based in Alexandria, NSW, Australia.

About Co-Hive

Co-Hive is a purpose-driven and fast-growing organisation based in Alexandria, Sydney, dedicated to supporting young adults with disability aged 17–35 as they transition from school to adult life. In just 18 months, Co-Hive has emerged as a game-changing service -- winning Best New Disability Service at the Australian Disability Service Awards 2024 and gaining national recognition for doing things differently.

We're here to fill a critical gap. Too often, young people with disability leave school full of dreams, but quickly lose direction as they face a system that isn't built for them. Co-Hive is rewriting that story — helping participants build skills, confidence, and independence through hands-on, person-led programs that lead to real outcomes in open employment, social connection, and independent living.

Our model is bold, creative, and grounded in real relationships. We co-design every program with participants and their families and work closely with employers, educators, and community partners to build pathways that truly empower. Our work is guided by the core values of self-determination, inclusion, and possibility.

With strong demand and a growing reputation, Co-Hive is now preparing to expand across NSW and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to join a team at the forefront of change — and help shape the future of an organisation already making a profound difference in people's lives.

About the Role

We're looking for a passionate Program Facilitator to lead one of our 20-week group programs.

This role goes beyond teaching — it's about designing meaningful learning experiences, inspiring personal growth, and helping participants develop the skills they need to move towards employment, independence, and a fulfilling adult life.

• Contribute to a positive, connected workplace culture built on shared values

Progress Monitoring & Reporting

• Track participant progress and outcomes using Co-Hive's internal systems
• Provide feedback to participants and families throughout the program
• Evaluate the effectiveness of your program using data and participant feedback
• Maintain clear and accurate documentation to meet NDIS reporting and compliance standards

You'll be supported by a highly experienced Program Manager and a passionate, skilled team. You'll never work in isolation — Co-Hive's collaborative model ensures you're always surrounded by people who want to learn from each other, share ideas, and make a lasting difference.
