What you’ll be doing

As our Enablement Coach, you’ll support people on probation to improve their wellbeing, overcome barriers and reduce the risk of reoffending.

Working one-to-one and with groups, you’ll help people develop positive relationships, improve emotional wellbeing, access employment, housing and community support, and build the confidence and skills needed to move forward. You’ll work closely with probation, community organisations and partner agencies to ensure people receive coordinated support that meets their individual needs.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping people build safer, healthier and more independent lives.

This role requires enhanced level 1 vetting.
