Develop and deliver the learning experiences that change the direction of a young adult's life.

Co-Hive is looking for Program Facilitators on a part-time basis to join our team, delivering the hands-on, experiential learning at the heart of our impact for young adults aged 17-35 living with mild disability and neurodivergence and low support needs.

Through our industry-based employment pathways and independence programs, you'll develop and facilitate structured, strengths-based learning that puts self-determination first - not doing things for participants, but building their capacity to make their own choices and shape their own path forward, whether that is open employment, further study, greater independence, or genuine friendship and belonging.

Working alongside a small, collaborative team, you'll bring curriculum to life, and connect learning to real-world pathways through relationships with participants, education and employer partners, and community organisations. You'll help scale Co-Hive's impact to more participants and hubs as we grow.

You'll be a great fit if you have:

- Demonstrated experience facilitating group-based learning or programs for young people or adults with additional or individualised needs, and adapting your approach and learning content to ensure all learners are catered for and are engaged in learning
- A background in education, youth work, disability education, or a related facilitation role
- Experience planning and delivering structured, strengths-based, outcomes-focused learning
- Confident use of technology to support learning, engagement, and communication
- A Working with Children Check (WWCC), or willingness to obtain one
- A teaching qualification or Cert IV in Training and Assessment is highly regarded, though not essential

You'll do genuinely meaningful work,



educating participants to build confidence and independence in real time. It's a hands-on, collaborative team and a high-energy workplace where every day looks a little different. We're small but growing, so you'll see first hand the impact you make.

Our programs are detailed under "Programs and Services" on our website.

Hours:

Facilitators are required to be onsite at a Co-Hive hub to facilitate programs between 9am and 3pm, with availability needed outside these face-to-face hours for planning and non-face-to-face work.

Days (Part Time):

We have part time vacancies available for 2 to 4 days (Monday and Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday) for Term 4 2026 and beyond.

Days (Casual):

We have vacancies for casual relief days across our programs.

Location:

Current vacancies are based at our Alexandria hub, but we'd also love to hear from facilitators based on, or interested in working from, the North Shore as we look to open new hubs in 2027.

About Co-Hive

Co-Hive is a Sydney-based "for purpose" organisation empowering young adults aged 17-35 with disability, neurodiversity, and low support needs to achieve award-wage open employment, build independence and advocacy, and develop strong social connections. Founded by an experienced leader in special education, Co-Hive exists because too many young adults with disability were leaving school without a genuine pathway into employment, further study, or community life.





In just two years, we've grown to two hubs, 140+ participants each week, and national recognition including Best New Disability Business in Australia (2024). More importantly, we've built something rare and deeply needed: a genuine community - one where Facilitators are in a front-row seat watching the young adults they teach walking into jobs, courses, and friendships that didn't exist for them before.

- Familiarise yourself with the Australian Disability Strategy

Company Overview

About Co-Hive At Co-Hive, we do things differently. We're a values-led organisation grounded in self-determination and participant-led growth. Through structured, innovative programs, we support young people to build skills across all areas of life, from social skills, navigating public transport and managing daily routines to preparing for open employment. Our focus is on developing independence, promoting choice and control, reducing the high risk of social isolation, and building capacity for open employment. Whether it's through hands-on cooking sessions, real-world work experiences, or social events that foster genuine friendships, participants take meaningful steps toward autonomy every day. With experienced facilitators, strong partnerships with families and employers, and a welcoming environment at the heart of what we do, Co-Hive is more than a service - it's a connected, inclusive community where every individual is seen, supported, and celebrated.
