Can you hold a room’s attention, build connection and equip young people with tools that matter?

zero2hero’s mission is to engage, educate and empower young people across Western Australia to become mental health heroes, supporting themselves, looking out for their mates and helping prevent suicide.

Through mental health education and community connection, we equip young people with practical tools to support their wellbeing, recognise when help is needed and access support.

We’re looking for confident, adaptable Facilitators for ongoing roles working four or five days per week. Based in Perth, you’ll work across our programs and undertake approximately two week-long regional trips per school term (min eight per year).

You’ll fit right in if you're someone who:

- Connects confidently with young people, from small groups to audiences of 100+.
- Reads a room and adapts when participants are distracted, disconnected or reluctant to join in.
- Brings energy and warmth, and knows when to shift tone for deeper conversations.
- Understands mental health, mental ill-health and suicide prevention, or is ready to learn.
- Enjoys being on the move and wants travel to be a regular part of their work.
- Wants to develop their skills in facilitation and youth mental health education.

Whether you’re a teacher, youth worker, performer, presenter or facilitator, we’re interested in your ability to connect with young people, learn and keep growing. Where you’ll make a difference

This is an active, people-focused role that takes you into schools and communities across WA where you'll:





- Deliver established mental health education programs to primary and high school students, from single workshops to programs delivered over several weeks.
- Be the face of zero2hero, engaging and supporting young people across our school programs, camps, In Your Head youth mental health forums and holiday clinics.
- Have opportunities to mentor and support young people through facilitation and coordination roles at our week-long Camp Hero programs.
- Use creativity, patience and adaptability to engage different ages and audiences.
- Bring fresh energy and care to familiar content, giving young people practical tools to support themselves and others.
- Undertake approximately eight week-long regional trips each year, alongside regular driving to metro schools and program locations.
- Collect evaluations, share observations and complete program administration to support program design and improvement.

The work asks you to bring energy, repeat familiar content with care and adapt when things don’t go to plan. Some moments will be immediately rewarding; others will plant a seed. Each session is an opportunity to start conversations and share tools young people can draw on over time.
