Do you have a genuine passion for supporting people with psychosocial disability to reclaim control of their lives and thrive in their community?
As a Recovery Coach, you will play a specialised and integral role in helping NDIS participants with a primary psychosocial disability understand their supports, build capacity, and connect meaningfully with their community and life goals. Your focus will be on recovery-oriented practice, coaching, and support coordination — ensuring participants gain greater independence, resilience and control.
This is a casual role offering flexibility, with the potential to transition into part-time or full-time employment for the right candidate.
Key Responsibilities
As a Recovery Coach, you will:
* Work with participants to co-design and implement personalised recovery plans, grounded in a strength-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach.
* Assist participants to build capacity, resilience and routines that support their social, economic and life participation goals.
* Help participants to understand and navigate their NDIS plan (including psychosocial recovery coaching support items) and other mainstream, informal and community supports.
* Coordinate, negotiate and liaise with providers, allied-health, community services, the NDIA, and other stakeholders to ensure participants access appropriate supports and services.
* Provide capacity-building coaching rather than purely directive support; empowering participants to self-manage, make informed choices and build informal supports.
* Maintain accurate case notes, reports and documentation in line with NDIS standards and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission's requirements (including incident reporting, safeguarding, etc).
* Uphold Shoreline's values, the NDIS Code of Conduct, and work in a manner that protects the rights, dignity, choice and safety of participants.
What You'll Bring
* A strong commitment to recovery-oriented practice and working alongside people with psychosocial disability, supporting their autonomy, strengths and life participation.
* Excellent communication, active listening and coaching skills, with the ability to adapt your style to individual needs and contexts.
* Strong problem-solving, negotiation and collaboration skills, including working with participants, families/carers and service systems.
* Highly developed time-management and administrative skills, with confidence using technology, participant portals and NDIS systems.
* Ability to work independently, while also collaborating within a multidisciplinary team and building strong community and provider networks.
* Understanding of the NDIS pricing arrangements, psychosocial recovery coaching support item, and how it differs from other support coordination roles.
* Valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) or willingness to obtain.
* National Police Check (to be provided on application).
* Valid NDIS Worker Screening Check or willingness to obtain prior to role commencement.
* Relevant industry qualification (e.g., Certificate IV or Diploma in Mental Health, Peer Work, Community Services, Social Work, or equivalent).
* Demonstrated relevant industry experience working with people with psychosocial disability, mental health challenges or in disability/community services in a role that included capacity-building, coaching, support coordination or similar.
