About the Role

We are seeking an empathetic, proactive and highly motivated Personal Recovery & Life Activation Coach to work closely with a private individual, supporting their recovery, daily functioning, consistency and overall quality of life.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can combine warmth and companionship with practical execution, gentle accountability and the ability to motivate another person to take consistent action. The ideal candidate will help translate professional recommendations into everyday routines, while making daily life more engaging, structured and enjoyable.

Key Responsibilities

• Recovery & Routine Building: Encourage and support consistent completion of physiotherapist-prescribed home exercises and other agreed daily activities.
• Clinical Appointment Coordination: Accompany the individual to scheduled rTMS, neurofeedback, agnikarma and other clinical appointments, ensuring timely attendance and continuity.
• Life Activation: Organise and accompany the individual on enjoyable walks, outings and other suitable activities to encourage engagement with the outside world.
• Daily Structure & Accountability: Help establish and maintain practical daily routines, follow through on planned activities and gently address avoidance or procrastination.
• Motivation & Companionship: Provide positive, non-judgmental encouragement and meaningful companionship, helping the individual stay engaged without creating pressure or conflict.
• Practical Coordination: Assist with scheduling, planning, tracking agreed activities and communicating relevant observations or progress to the family, as appropriate.
• Personalised Engagement: Identify activities, interests and approaches that encourage participation, build momentum and improve consistency over time.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who demonstrates:

• Empathy, patience, emotional maturity and genuine warmth.
• Strong initiative and the ability to motivate through encouragement rather than force.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Reliability, punctuality, organisation and a strong sense of responsibility.
• The ability to build trust while maintaining healthy professional boundaries.
• A practical, action-oriented mindset, with a focus on helping people move from intention to execution.
• Comfort accompanying someone to appointments and outings, and supporting adherence to professionally prescribed routines.

Preferred Background

Candidates may come from backgrounds such as:

• Psychology, counselling or behavioural sciences.
• Occupational therapy, physiotherapy or rehabilitation support.
• Life coaching, behavioural activation or wellness coaching.
• Social work, mental health support or patient engagement.
• Other people-facing roles involving motivation, companionship, accountability and structured daily support.

Relevant experience is desirable, but emotional intelligence, initiative, dependability and the ability to build a constructive working relationship are equally important.

Important Scope of the Role

This is a non-clinical support and coaching position. The coach will support routines and treatment attendance as directed by the relevant professionals, but will not independently prescribe treatments, alter medication or provide clinical care.
