Job Coaches

At CoOptions, our Job Coaches play a vital role in supporting people with learning disabilities to find and succeed in meaningful employment. They work closely with jobseekers, employers, and families to ensure the right opportunities are found and that individuals feel confident, supported, and valued in the workplace.

Our Job Coaches help with:

  • Vocational profiling – understanding skills, interests, and goals
  • Job searching and applications
  • Interview preparation and support
  • On-the-job training and workplace adjustments
  • Ongoing guidance to help individuals thrive in their roles
