(Allied Health / Social Work / Counselling)

Do you have a background in social work, counselling, rehabilitation counselling, behavioural sciences or another allied health profession?
Are you passionate about supporting people to build confidence, improve wellbeing and create positive change in their lives?
Liberating Minds, in partnership with Susan Lister, is seeking two compassionate and engaging Wellbeing Facilitators to deliver Workforce Australia-funded personal development and wellbeing programs across Adelaide.

Counselling
Psychology

Other relevant allied health qualifications
Highly Desirable

We would particularly love to hear from applicants who have:
Experience as a teacher, trainer or educator
Retrained into social work, counselling, rehabilitation counselling or allied health
Experience facilitating workshops, training sessions or group programs
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
A passion for empowering others to achieve positive change

Training and Support
You will receive comprehensive support to ensure your success, including:
On-site training and induction
The opportunity to shadow workshops before facilitating independently
Detailed facilitator resources and workshop materials

Regular support and professional development meetings
You will be fully supported throughout your facilitation journey.

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
Family-friendly hours – Work just 10:00am–2:00pm each day, making it ideal for working around school hours and family commitments.
Only 12 delivery hours across 3 days – Enjoy meaningful, rewarding work without committing to full-time hours.
Guaranteed minimum income – Receive $600 for each 3-day workshop delivered.
Excellent earning potential – Earn approximately $50–$100 per hour, depending on participant attendance.
Opportunity to earn up to $1,200 per 3-day workshop as participant numbers increase.

Comprehensive training and support – All workshop resources, facilitator guides, onboarding and ongoing mentoring are provided.
Ongoing coaching and professional development from Susan Lister and the Liberating Minds team.

Why Join Liberating Minds?
At Liberating Minds, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to rediscover their strengths, build confidence and create a future they feel excited about.

This role offers the opportunity to use your professional skills in a supportive, flexible and rewarding environment while making a genuine difference in the lives of others.

We are currently recruiting two facilitators to join our growing team and help deliver these life-changing programs across Adelaide.
One extra sentence I’d add right under the heading on Seek or Facebook is:
Looking for a role where your teaching, counselling or social work skills can genuinely change lives? This may be the opportunity you’ve been searching for.

It’s a strong emotional hook and speaks directly to former teachers who miss the impact of helping people grow.
