Job description

We are looking for coaches who share the FidesOak values of Trust, Honesty and Sincerity of Intent to support our client in delivering positive and sustainable change through their people. We believe that people are at the heart of the solution.

This project is focused on strengthening a high performing culture through leadership, teamwork, psychological safety, operational learning and consistent behaviours in the field.

• Recognise and learn from positive pockets of culture and identify what enables effective practice.

• Help individuals and teams translate learning into sustainable changes in everyday behaviour.

• Maintain appropriate records of coaching activity and progress using FidesOak methodologies and tools.

• Provide relevant insights from the field to support the wider programme, while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional boundaries.
