What this job is
Psychosocial Recovery Coaches work with NDIS participants whose primary disability is a mental health condition. The core of the role is helping a person set goals, understand their NDIS plan, and connect with the services and supports that suit their situation. This is not clinical therapy. It is closer to intensive, relationship-based support coordination, with a strong focus on building a person's own skills and confidence over time. Coaches often work for community mental health organisations, disability service providers, or as sole traders registered with the NDIS.
