Dear future teammate

We’re building something special at Neuroqueer - a support service run by and for neurodivergent and LGBTQIASB+ people. We’re here to make sure people like us feel good, feel seen, and feel supported.

If you care deeply about people, know what it’s like to navigate systems that weren’t built for you, and want your work to really mean something, we’d love to meet you.

So what’s the role?

We’re looking for Peer Support Coaches to join our team in Melbourne and Sydney. It’s a casual, super flexible role - take on as much or as little as you like. You’ll work 1:1 with people who come to us for support - people who are often neurodivergent, queer, disabled, or all of the above, supporting them to live life, build skills, try recent things, and feel more confident and connected in the community.

Some things you might do:

- Support people with social activities, community connection, and daily tasks
- Build confidence and find what works for them with everyday life
- Encourage, celebrate, and support people with their goals
- Collaborate with therapists and communicate changes

About you We’re looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and someone who genuinely cares about doing right by people. Someone who does the right thing - even when no one’s watching, keeps people safe, and treats them with respect and warmth.

Ideally, you have:

- Lived experience of neurodivergence and/or being LGBTQIASB+




- Insight into the communities we serve and the barriers we face
- A communication style that’s thoughtful and respectful
- A driver licence and access to a reliable, insured car (travel is local, within 30 minutes, and we reimburse for km’s travelled)
- Some experience in disability support, community work, or a related field (a bonus, not a must)
- An NDIS Worker Screening Check (or you’re happy to get one)
- Comfortable working with autonomy, with support and check-ins available when you need them.

What's in it for you
- Flexible hours that work around your life, energy, and capacity
- A low-pressure, high-trust environment where pacing yourself, asking for breaks, or saying “I need support” is welcomed
- An affirming and inclusive culture that centres around lived experience
- Ongoing support
- Creative freedom in how you co-design and deliver support
- A voice in shaping how we grow. Your ideas and feedback aren’t just welcomed, they’re deeply valued
- The chance to make a real difference in people’s lives, especially those who’ve been let down by providers, misunderstood, or left out by other systems

We encourage applications from people with lived experience of neurodivergence, disability, or being LGBTQIASB+, as well as First Nations folks and people from culturally diverse backgrounds. If this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d love to hear from you. Click the "Apply Now" button.

Talk soon,
