Wellbeing Coach (Canada Based)

Oliva is the employee mental wellbeing platform for companies who want to properly care for their people, and help them grow.

By combining proper therapy courses, coaching (the good kind), dedicated support for managers, and mental fitness classes—all led by a curated team of top professionals—Oliva helps employees respond to whatever hurdles life throws at them: big or small, at work and beyond

.
We are continually developing the services we offer to make sure we are offering the best care to our clients. As part of this process, we are launching a new clinical project which we would love to curate a team of wellbeing coaches to join us o

The proj

ect
This is an exciting opportunity to help us deliver our new ‘hybrid’ evidenced based method of intervention for people who have mild to moderate common mental health probl

ems.
We believe that therapy is about learning and when learning anything, we need to practice what we are learning. If you are learning to play the piano you have a lesson and then you practice what you learnt in the lesson between les

sons.
It’s the same in therapy - you have a therapy session and to get the most out of therapy you need to practice what you learnt in the therapy session. That’s why we are developing novel ways of helping people practice the skills they are learning in therapy. In our new hybrid model every client has a coach and a between session assi

stant.
The between session assistant supports the client to practise specific skills and strategies. As a coach you would be supporting the client to elicit learning and implement new skills and strategies into their lives, problem solving setbacks and supporting them t

Who we are
Oliva is a tight-knit, experienced, and passionate team of engineers, designers, marketers, and psychologists. We’ve all been through our own battles with burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. And while we’ve all had both positive and less positive experiences with mental healthcare, we know first-hand that talking through your problems makes a massive difference once you

find the right person.Our co-founders, Javier Suarez, Sançar Sahin and Huw Slater, have all experienced the emotional highs and lows of scaling successful tech startups and lived to tell the tale. Between them they have founded or led teams at TravelPerk, Typefor

ple feeling like that.We have a hybrid working model. Depending on your location we will be flexible to how much time you spend in person with the team. If you are based in London or Barcelona our teams in our hub locations meet twice weekly. If you are based elsewhere you will be expected to travel monthly or quarterly depending on the distance. You will need to be based in the UK for this role. Unfortunately at the moment we are unable to sponsor wor
