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 have recently launched a new service called Wellbeing Support, which we are building a diverse team of Wellbeing Coaches for. NB. While we aren't actively hiring for this role, we expect to have more training cohorts announced in the near future. By applying for this role, you are registering your interest for future cohorts.

Wellbeing Support : Our new ‘Wellbeing Support’ method of evidence-based care is for people who have mild to moderate common mental health problems.

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 practice what you learnt between lessons. 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 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 assistant. The assistant supports the client to practice specific skills and strategies. As a coach, you would support the client to elicit learning, implement new skills, problem-solve setbacks, and support them in learning.
