Wellbeing & Progression Coach

We think it’s a crying shame that there are still many people a long way from meaningful, fulfilling lives, with work or without. So, we set about changing that. Transform Lives Company is an established social enterprise working in the North-West, dedicated to not just transforming people’s lives but transforming the way we can do this. Our developmental support really is life-changing.

We work with inspiring volunteer hosts and partners to build people’s confidence and ensure they feel valued. We are changing the way this support is funded and delivered.

Our approach is truly person-centred. We start with kindness, understanding the difficult situations many people find themselves in.

The remit of this job is to deliver all elements of support to make sure we are providing a welcoming, flexible, informative, accessible, and person-centred service.
