Kindness, patience and persistence, along with your calm resilience, will help you overcome daily and stay cool under pressure. Your coaching approach means you understand that helping people to help themselves is the most important part of empowering customers.

You get a little creative and find with innovative ways to help customers on their path to recovery. In addition to the people side of the role you will also have excellent administration skills, strong computer literacy, report writing and financial management abilities.

Ideally you will bring experience and/or qualifications in mental health work or social welfare. If you don’t have those – please bring passion and enthusiasm!
