Thank you in advance for providing your information. Though we are not currently interviewing for coaches, when a role becomes available this information can help us assess your background for future roles and fast track your application.
As a part-time mental health coach, you play an instrumental role in making the Headspace mission a reality! You will help people adapt to living healthier lives by discovering their personal strengths, motivations, and skills that will enable them to make lasting changes in their mindsets and behaviors. Coaches have regular touchpoints w/ their members to assist them in constructing attainable goals, offer support and encouragement, track successes and setbacks, and provide resources, tips and strategies to facilitate on-going progress.
Coaches are an integral part of each member’s multidisciplinary care team. They use previous clinical and/or coaching experience, good judgment, and guidelines to discern when to refer members to a higher level of care, such as Therapy and/or Psychiatry, or other internal or external resources. You will collaborate with psychiatrists and therapists to help develop and reinforce progress, as appropriate.
Headspace Care coaching is delivered through text-based-chat and video within the Headspace app. In addition to coaching our members, you’ll also have biweekly 1:1 supervision outside of your coaching hours and Team Meeting recordings will be available for you to view when they are available.
Headspace coaches are ready to be part of a community working collaboratively to make mental health support accessible to everyone, no matter their background or experience.
