Who are Doncaster Mind’s community coaches? 

Community Coaches draw on the involvement and valuable skills of those around them, such as the voluntary sector, social services, clinicians and neighbourhoods, to re-connect people with services in their communities. 

They may have acquired the knowledge and experience of working with people with complex lives in either a hospital or community environment. They have a strong sense of emotional intelligence, and their personality is one that strangers connect well with.   

What do Doncaster Mind’s community coaches do? 

Community Coaches assesses people's needs and uses ‘out of the box’ thinking to support them to resolve their ongoing issues. A plan is prepared and implemented which is bespoke for each client and which is continually changing in line with their needs. Once they are flourishing independently the service discreetly allows them to decide when they no longer need its support. 

If you are interested in this important role and have a passion and enthusiasm to support a growing organisation to ensure that Doncaster has the best in mental health services, we are keen to hear from you.
