$85,000 - $110,000 incl. superannuation + Wellness Perks
Programs & Pathways

As Co-Hive’s Inclusive Employment & Pathways Lead, you will be the driving force behind creating real-world opportunities for our participants. This is a role that blends strategic leadership with hands-on delivery - ensuring every participant has the support, tools, and connections they need to thrive in open employment, further education, and community life.

You will wear two key hats:

  • Dedicated Job Coach – placing participants at the centre of every decision, helping them prepare for, secure, and sustain meaningful employment.
  • Connector & Innovator – with deep knowledge of each Co-Hive program and participant needs, you will create and implement experiences and opportunities that enhance learning, putting theory into practice.

Based at the Co-Hive Hub, you’ll still be out and about - meeting employers, visiting workplaces, hosting excursions and field trips, and building community connections. This is a go-getter role for someone who thrives on variety, has excellent administrative and communication skills, and can juggle multiple stakeholders while delivering measurable impact.

Key Responsibilities

🔹Community Connections & Opportunity Creation

  • Build and maintain a diverse network of employers, industries, training providers, tertiary institutions, and community organisations.

  • Research and identify opportunities for participants to explore career pathways, skills training, and further education.
  • Leverage your own networks to forge new connections and bring fresh opportunities to Co-Hive.

🔹 Individual Employment Planning

  • Collaborate with participants to create Individual Employment Plans tailored to their skills, aspirations, and needs.
  • Support participants in developing self-advocacy, confidence, and workplace readiness skills.
  • Identify skill gaps and link participants with training, mentoring, or workplace exposure opportunities.

🔹 Job Coaching & Employment Support

  • Match participants to roles that are both suitable and sustainable.
  • Support employers with job customisation, workplace adjustments, and onboarding processes.
  • Provide ongoing job coaching to help participants maintain and succeed in employment.
  • Collaborate with IEA providers, contribute to DES reform initiatives, and share best practice from the Centre of Excellence in Disability Employment.

🔹Employer Engagement & Capacity Building

  • Partner with employers to create inclusive recruitment pathways.
  • Increase employer confidence and capability to hire and retain people with disability.
  • Promote wage subsidies and other employer incentives.

🔹 Program Development & Implementation

  • Create and implement new initiatives that expand work experience and employment pathways.
  • Document and measure program impact, using data to inform continuous improvement.
  • Support facilitators to integrate community connections and industry opportunities into program delivery.

🔹  Grants & Funding Collaboration

  • Identify and support grant applications that expand employment and education opportunities.
  • Collaborate with leadership to secure partnerships that grow Co-Hive’s reach and impact.

🔹 Compliance & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate records of all activities, risk assessments, and participant outcomes.
  • Lead monthly reporting on employment outcomes, employer engagement, and program success.

About You – Skills & Experience

  • Strong knowledge of disability and/or employment services (experience with DES, IEA, or related reforms highly desirable).
  • Proven ability to engage confidently with multiple stakeholders, keeping them well informed and most importantly, part of the entire process. 
  • Experience in employment, job coaching, vocational training, or community engagement.
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Initiative, self-motivation, and ability to work autonomously.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills, ready to build and lead a future team.
  • Driver’s licence and own vehicle (travel to worksites and community organisations required).

Why Join Co-Hive?

  • Be part of an energetic, values-driven team that’s reimagining what’s possible for young adults with disability
  • Play a key lead role in a fast-growing organisation committed to real, long-term impact
  • Work where your contribution directly transforms lives - not just delivers services
  • Enjoy above-Award wages, plus Wellness Perks to support your health and balance
  • Join a warm, close-knit culture that’s collaborative, courageous, and committed to inclusion
  • Step into a strategic, high-impact role with strong influence across the organisation
  • We’re in the final stages of becoming a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) — once approved, you’ll benefit from salary packaging to boost your take-home pay

  • Ensure legal and regulatory compliance with Fair Work Act, NES, SCHADS Award, and NDIS Practice Standards
  • Manage the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, probation, professional development, performance, and exit
  • Coordinate WorkCover claims and return-to-work processes as needed

If you’re passionate about supporting our mission, we’d love you to submit your application!

--------------------------------------------------------

We’re looking for a Program Assistant who is passionate about helping young adults with disability build skills for life. This is not a carer role — it’s a dynamic, hands-on position where you will support participants to grow their independence, confidence, and capacity through structured programs.

You’ll work directly with participants to help them set and achieve goals around employment, education, social connection, and community participation. From travel training and team projects to digital skills and job readiness, you’ll play a key role in their learning journey.

You’ll be guided by the Program Manager and work closely with Program Facilitators to deliver sessions, lead small group activities, and provide 1:1 support — always with a focus on building skills for the future.

Key Responsibilities

As a Program Assistant at Co-Hive, you’ll help bring programs to life — not by simply supporting, but by actively contributing to the development of young adults as they build the skills, confidence, and independence to take charge of their future.

You’ll work closely with participants to help them achieve their individual goals around employment, further education, social connection, and community participation. You’ll play a vital role in promoting self-determination, supporting participants to advocate for themselves, make informed choices, and feel a true sense of belonging at Co-Hive.

Your key responsibilities include:

🔹 Program Contribution & Participant Support

  • Support the delivery of structured group programs across a variety of interest and skill-building areas
  • Lead small-group and 1:1 activities such as travel training, digital skills, budgeting, or goal-setting
  • Help participants practise everyday skills through hands-on, real-world learning and community engagement
  • Adapt and personalise your support to ensure all participants feel capable, included, and empowered
  • Work closely with participants to help them achieve their individual goals — whether that’s building independence, getting a job, or exploring further education

🔹 Promoting Self-Determination & Confidence

  • Encourage participants to make choices, solve problems, and reflect on their progress
  • Support the development of self-advocacy and communication skills
  • Help participants find their voice, speak up about their needs, and take ownership of their learning journey
  • Foster a strong sense of community and connection, where everyone feels valued, respected, and part of something bigger

🔹 Team Collaboration

  • Work in partnership with your Program Facilitator to plan and deliver high-quality, engaging sessions
  • Share insights from your work with participants to help tailor the learning experience
  • Contribute to a positive, inclusive team culture where all ideas are welcomed
  • Support the day-to-day running of the hub — including preparing resources, setting up spaces, and ensuring the environment remains welcoming and safe


🔹 Technology & Communication

  • Confidently use digital tools (Google Workspace, Canva, AI platforms, etc.) to support participants and enhance program delivery
  • Assist with note-taking, recording progress, and ensuring documentation meets NDIS requirements
  • Maintain professional and respectful communication with families, carers, and support networks
  • Follow all Co-Hive processes and uphold our values of respect, creativity, inclusion, and excellence

We’re Looking For Someone With:

  • Experience working with people with disability or in related support, education, or youth development roles
  • A calm, empathetic, and proactive approach
  • Confidence supporting small groups or individuals in learning and goal-setting
  • Willingness to take initiative while working collaboratively with others
  • Strong communication, organisation, and digital skills
  • An interest in using technology and innovation to enhance learning
  • A strong belief in inclusion, self-determination, and every person’s potential

Experience or Interest in Any of the Following Areas is a Bonus:

Thank you for your interest! We aren't recruiting for roles at this time. Please stay tuned and we'll announce new openings as they become available.

People & Culture Manager

Co-Hive (Alexandria)
$134,400k-156,800k incl. super + Wellness Perks
People & Culture

We’re seeking a highly experienced People & Culture leader to join our management and executive team. You’ll bring a strategic, commercially minded approach to workforce planning, risk mitigation, and organisational development — while championing a safe, inclusive, and high-performing culture.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit back — we need a hands-on builder who’s ready to get things moving quickly. You’ll be responsible for designing and leading Co-Hive’s recruitment, onboarding, and workforce development strategy from the ground up. As the first dedicated People & Culture Manager, you’ll have a rare opportunity to shape Co-Hive’s internal culture, hiring frameworks, and team structures to support our long-term goals.

You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, leading the people and culture function across all departments and overseeing a full-time experienced HR Assistant and Hub and Social Engagement Coordinator. You will also oversee the implementation of our HRIS (Employment Hero) and manage compliance across SCHADS Award and NDIS standards. In addition, you’ll lead the successful application and roll-out of Co-Hive’s Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) status — including unlocking staff benefits and salary packaging opportunities.

We are a small but mighty team — currently fewer than 10 full-time staff — with strong values, big energy, and bold plans for growth. This is a true leadership position with significant growth potential. You’ll be fundamental to Co-Hive’s success and expansion over the coming years.

Key Responsibilities

🔹 Strategic Leadership & Culture

  • Develop and implement a whole-organisation People & Culture Strategy aligned with Co-Hive’s mission and strategic direction
  • Deliver a clear HR roadmap with milestones, metrics, and input from across the business
  • Champion a workplace culture that promotes psychological safety, high performance, and inclusion
  • Partner closely with the executive team to forecast staffing needs and support strategic workforce planning
  • Drive change and innovation in recruitment, onboarding, and retention across all departments
  • Oversee the implementation of Co-Hive’s PBI status and ensure associated staff benefits are set up and understood

🔹 HR Operations & Compliance

  • Build and embed HR policies, procedures, and frameworks to support a growing organisation
  • Lead implementation and use of Employment Hero as our HR system
  • Ensure legal and regulatory compliance with Fair Work Act, NES, SCHADS Award, and NDIS Practice Standards
  • Manage the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, probation, professional development, performance, and exit
  • Coordinate WorkCover claims and return-to-work processes as needed

🔹 Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead and mentor the People and Culture Administrator to ensure timely and accurate HR administration
  • Lead and mentor the Hub and Social Engagement Coordinator providing guidance, support, and development opportunities to ensure strong community engagement and alignment with Co-Hive’s values and strategic goals
  • Coach department leaders on performance management, leadership skills, and staff development
  • Design and oversee an annual professional development program to build staff capability
  • Monitor team satisfaction and wellbeing, and lead initiatives that support staff retention and growth


About You – Skills & Experience

You’re a confident, proactive, and values-driven People and Culture leader who is energised by growth and systems building. You’re excited about being part of something early-stage and meaningful, and you thrive in fast-moving environments where every day brings something new.

  • Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources or a related field
  • Minimum 4 - 5 years’ experience in an HR leadership or management role
  • Proven experience building HR functions, systems, and processes from the ground up
  • Strong working knowledge of employment law, compliance, and industrial relations (SCHADS/NDIS knowledge ideal)
  • Experience with HRIS platforms (preferably Employment Hero)
  • Excellent interpersonal and coaching skills — you build trust quickly and communicate clearly
  • A practical, hands-on leadership style and the confidence to work across all levels of an organisation
  • A strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, and empowering others to thrive
  • A passion for building great teams and delivering purpose-driven impact

Why Join Co-Hive?

  • Be part of an energetic, values-driven team that’s reimagining what’s possible for young adults with disability
