Social Wellbeing Coach

Add expected salary to your profile for insights
At PCCS, we're pioneering a path in mental health and social emotional wellbeing services. Our service is a beacon of hope and support for those who need help when most other doors are closed — evenings, weekends, and those in-between moments when challenges feel the heaviest.
We work with a diverse community — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse groups, and people of all ages — offering opportunities that are personalised, strengths-based, and genuinely responsive.
Why After-Hours?
For many people, evenings and weekends are the first moment they can stop, reflect, and reach out for help. As part of our after-hours team,
you'll be there when it matters most
— the voice on the other end of the line, the guide who can connect someone to the right support, and the reassurance they're not alone.
It's also a role that offers
you
a different kind of balance:
Days free
for study, family, caring responsibilities, or other passions.
Penalty rates for evening and weekend work.
Your Role: More Than a Job
As our after-hours specialist, you'll be the
concierge of mental health services
— listening deeply, understanding what matters to each person, and guiding them toward the right pathway. Whether it's a straightforward referral or a creative solution to meet unique needs, you'll make each interaction count.
Core responsibilities include:
Being the warm, non-judgmental first point of contact for after-hours enquiries.
Conducting needs assessments to understand each individual's situation.
Providing clear, informed referrals and service navigation.
Following up to ensure smooth and supportive care journeys.
Championing a strengths-based approach that focuses on what's strong, not just what's wrong.
What We're Looking For
Genuine empathy and curiosity about people's unique stories.
A strengths-based mindset and excellent communication skills.
Ability to explore, explain, and connect people to services that fit them best.
Flexibility, creativity, and comfort with problem-solving in the moment.
Relevant qualifications — Degree in Social Work, Nursing, or other Allied Health professions with mental health experience.
Required clearances — NDIS Worker Screening & Working With Children Check.
