About the opportunity

The Psychosocial Recovery Coach’s objective is to develop a recovery-enabling relationship to support participants with their recovery planning.

Your role will involve coaching the participant to increase their recovery skills through strengthening their personal capacity to coordinate their supports, assisting them in decision-making to take to achieve their goals and building their emotional resilience.

• Liaising with allied health and NDIS funded providers/stakeholders as including addressing any service issues, complaints and major changes to the participants support
