Uplyft are looking for a passionate and motivated individual who is committed to empowering young people. As a Transition Coach, you will play a vital role in supporting young people as they navigate the transition from Out of Home Care into adulthood and independence.
Uplyft (formerly Wanslea) is a leading provider of services for children, young people, and families across Western Australia. Founded in 1943, we have now expanded to offer a wide range of programs and services that support children, young people and families at every stage of life.
Why join Uplyft?
At Uplyft, your work makes a real difference. You won’t just have a job — you will support children, young people, and families, helping to build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.
We value people who bring their whole selves to work. Our team reflects our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and collaboration, where differences are celebrated and every voice matters.
Joining Uplyft means being part of a professional, purpose-driven organisation where your skills, ideas, and compassion help transform lives every day.

As one of the first services delivering Home Stretch in WA, you will have the opportunity to help shape and establish a service that provides meaningful, flexible and individualised support to young people as they build their futures.
Through a relationship-based approach, you will provide one-to-one mentoring, coaching, guidance and case coordination to young people, extending their support and access to resources until the age of 21. Working alongside each young person, you will help them identify their goals, build confidence and develop the skills, connections and opportunities they need to thrive.

This may include helping young people to secure safe and stable housing, access education, training and employment, strengthen cultural and community connections, build positive relationships and develop the practical skills needed for independent living.
You will also work collaboratively with foster and family carers, community organisations and other service providers to create opportunities for young people to remain connected to the people, places and supports that matter to them.
