About Us
At Pure Coaching, we do things differently.
We’re not a standard support service. We’re active, hands-on, and focused on helping participants build independence, confidence, and real-life capability.
We call ourselves coaches because we work alongside participants as equals, supporting them through action, structure, and consistent mentoring.
About the Role
You’ll support NDIS participants (mostly teens and young adults) with higher support needs through consistent community-based mentoring, structured support, and relationship-driven work.
Activities and fitness are part of the role, but the core focus is stability, guidance, and being a reliable presence in participants’ lives. The role requires maturity, strong communication, and the ability to operate independently.
