About the Role

Do you believe employment and education can change lives?

As our Individual Placement Support Work & Study Coach you will support young people aged 15–25 to achieve meaningful employment and education outcomes. Working within the internationally recognised Individual Placement Support (IPS) model, you'll help young people identify their career goals, secure employment or study opportunities, and build the confidence and skills needed to succeed.

This is not a traditional case management role. It's a highly proactive position, focused on employment and education outcomes, where you'll spend time building relationships with local employers, identifying opportunities, advocating for young people, and providing practical support to help them enter and remain in work or study.

Working alongside headspace clinicians, you'll support young people experiencing mental health challenges to pursue their vocational goals,



recognising that meaningful employment and education are key contributors to wellbeing, independence and long-term success.

Key Duties

- Assist young people to identify, find and keep competitive employment and or study consistent with their interests, capabilities and vocational goals.
- Develop employment transition plans for individuals (that are inclusive of and work alongside other employment service providers) that address barriers to accessing and maintaining employment consistent with the individual’s interests, skills, experience and capabilities.
- Provide a timely response to referrals from the headspace clinical team in relation to young people experiencing mental illness who require supported transition into employment.
- Develop and maintain robust networks and communication pathways with service providers, including mental health and vocational service providers and employers.

Required Skills

- Demonstrated experience working with young people in the vocational services sector and supporting young people with mental health issues to achieve positive outcomes.
- Excellent client engagement skills, including the ability to provide youth-friendly, welcoming and client-centered services for young people
- A broad understanding of the appropriate legislation, case management practice, and the ability to adhere to policy and procedures
- Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment and work co-operatively to achieve team outcomes.

Qualifications

- Tertiary Qualification in relevant field (minimum Diploma level)
- A current Drivers Licence.
