AV Job Coaching

Click here to apply for Job Coaching

Structured Employment Coaching. Built on Lived Experience. Strengthened for 2026.

AV Job Coaching was originally developed as a strengths-based alternative to deficit-focused employment support.

What began as a pilot to support autistic adults through career disruption and transition has now evolved into a structured, professional coaching service embedded within our broader World of Work ecosystem.

In 2026, we are entering our next phase.

We have:

  • Refined our three-session coaching model

  • Brought on additional highly trained coaches

  • Strengthened internal supervision and methodology

  • Built partnerships to support extended delivery

  • Developed a structured body-doubling framework for sustained accountability

This is no longer a pilot.
It is a professional coaching service grounded in lived experience and strengthened by structure.


What Coaching Is

Coaching is a forward-facing, collaborative process.

It is not therapy.
It is not counselling.
It is not psychological treatment.

Our coaches do not “fix” you.

Instead, they support you to:

  • Clarify your career direction

  • Strengthen your strengths-based positioning

  • Develop structured action plans

  • Improve executive functioning and follow-through

  • Navigate workplace systems

  • Build advocacy confidence

Coaching empowers you to move forward — with clarity and accountability.



Our 3-Session Coaching Package

$450 Investment | 3 Sessions | 45–60 Minutes Each

Our core coaching offer remains our structured three-session package.

Investment: $450

This package is designed to deliver focused momentum over a short, structured period.


Session 1 – Direction & Strengths

Clarifying career goals, identifying barriers, strengthening self-understanding and positioning.


Session 2 – Strategy & Application

Resume refinement, interview preparation, application positioning, strengths-based advocacy.


Session 3 – Execution & Sustainability

Workplace navigation, communication planning, retention strategy and next-stage goal setting.

Sessions are typically delivered fortnightly and completed within a three-month period.

This package is ideal for individuals who:

  • Need focused recalibration

  • Want clarity and structured direction

  • Are navigating transition

  • Benefit from guided reflection and accountability


2026 Extended Coaching Model

Body Doubling & Sustained Momentum

Through years of delivery, we identified a consistent pattern:

Insight alone does not always produce execution.

Many participants benefit from consistent accountability, structured rhythm and real-time task engagement.

In response, we are launching our extended coaching model:

6–8 sessions delivered over 12–14 weeks 

This model integrates:

  • Coaching methodology

  • Structured accountability

  • Body doubling-informed task sessions

  • Executive function support

  • Progress tracking and recalibration

This approach is particularly effective for:

  • Participants struggling with follow-through

  • Those managing executive functioning challenges

  • Complex career transitions

  • Individuals needing sustained confidence-building

We have strengthened this model through new coach recruitment and strategic partnerships to ensure professional delivery standards.

This is the next evolution of AV coaching.


Our Coaches

In 2026, we have expanded and strengthened our coaching team.

Our coaches:

  • Have lived experience of neurodiversity

  • Have formal training in coaching methodology

  • Participate in internal supervision and quality standards

  • Contribute to program refinement and evaluation

We are building a coaching model that is:

Community-led
Professionally delivered
Ethically structured
Evidence-informed

Our goal is not just to support individuals — but to build a credible, scalable coaching arm within Autism Valued.


Delivery Format

Coaching is delivered:

  • Online via Zoom (preferred)

  • Limited in-person availability (Melbourne)

  • Scheduled fortnightly unless otherwise agreed

All packages must be pre-purchased prior to commencement.

Your Role as Coachee

Coaching works when you engage.

We ask participants to:

  • Communicate honestly

  • Be open to feedback

  • Complete agreed actions

  • Respect scheduling commitments

  • Provide feedback to help refine our model

You are in charge of your coaching journey.


Coaching Within the World of Work Ecosystem

Job Coaching does not stand alone.

It connects directly with:

  • The Job Seeker Roadmap

  • Meet Me Where I’m At sessions

  • Resume Amendment Services

  • Career Network conversations

  • Topic Spotlight insights

Group learning builds awareness.
Coaching builds execution.
The ecosystem builds sustainability.

Our 2026 Direction

Job Coaching is becoming a central pillar of World of Work.

We are:

  • Strengthening professional delivery

  • Expanding extended coaching frameworks

  • Building structured accountability models

  • Developing partnerships to scale impact

  • Creating pathways to employ more autistic coaches directly

This is not just about supporting employment.

It is about building a sustainable, professional coaching service inside a community-led organisation.

Structured.
Credible.
Forward-facing.
