About the Role

As a Carer Coach, you'll deliver one-one-one and group coaching sessions that help carers build resilience, agency and hope. You'll support carers to explore their goals, reflect on their journey, and take practical steps toward wellbeing, all through a non-therapeutic, strengths-based approach.

A commitment to inclusion, self-reflection and continuous learning will ensure you succeed and grow in this role.

You will receive comprehensive training, mentoring and supervision. We'll support your professional development and reflective practice, helping you grow as a coach and leader in your community.
