As an Osara Health Coach, you'll support people who have been diagnosed with cancer, and the people who care for them, to adopt evidence-based behaviours that improve their outcomes, such as exercise, nutrition and symptom tracking. Using empathy and accountability, you'll help participants set meaningful health goals and work towards them. You'll ask good questions, offer practical suggestions and tools, and help people take back a sense of control over their health. You'll guide participants through our structured programs by phone, SMS and email.

The roles we are recruiting for will start with 2-3 days per week (9-5), with the opportunity to increase as you progress.
This is a remote role, based Australia-wide.
