Recovery Coach – Contractor Opportunities
Job Description
Recovery Coaches, are you thinking about your next move?
You’ve built your practice on empathy, connection, and lived experience—and so have we.
At CoAbility, we partner with experienced Psychosocial Recovery Coaches who want to work in a way that’s values-led, recovery-focused, and supported by systems that actually work.
Our Philosophy
At CoAbility, we understand that recovery is deeply personal, non-linear, and grounded in connection. That’s why we’ve built a structure that gives Psychosocial Recovery Coaches the autonomy to do the work their way—with the right support behind them when it counts.
We’ve created a place where Recovery Coaches are trusted, backed, and genuinely part of something meaningful—for participants and for themselves.
People First Leadership
We’re not top-heavy or corporate. Our leadership team is lean, responsive, and always ready to jump in when needed. We focus on what matters: people, not processes—and creating the conditions for genuine, high-quality work.
Built with Recovery in Mind
CoAbility understands recovery coaching at its core. Our infrastructure supports you to walk alongside people with complex needs—without walking alone yourself.
What’s in it for you? Glad you asked!
These are just some of the reasons
people love being part of the CoAbility team.
100% Remote Work Model
We work flexibly and virtually—every day. Recovery-focused support doesn’t need an office.

Contractor rates are inclusive of super and reflect the real value of psychosocial recovery work.
Proven Digital Systems
We’ve got reliable, easy-to-use systems—no spreadsheets required.
