About the French Bilingual Behavioral Health Coach at Headspace Health:

As we continue to expand, we are seeking experienced bilingual (English/French) behavioral health coaches to support our growing community of members. As a bilingual coach, you will have the opportunity to participate in our French Services program and be a part of a community working collaboratively to bring greater mental health access to the world.

Headspace Health Coaches play an instrumental role in making the Headspace Health mission a reality. You will help people adapt to living healthier lives by discovering their personal strengths, motivations, and skills that will enable them to make lasting changes in their mindsets and behaviors. Coaches have regular touchpoints w/ their members to assist them in constructing attainable goals, offer support and encouragement, track successes and setbacks, and provide resources, tips and strategies to facilitate on-going progress.

Coaches are an integral part of each member’s multidisciplinary care team. They use previous clinical and/or coaching experience, good judgment, and our guidelines to discern when to refer members to a higher level of care, such as Therapy and/or Psychiatry, or other internal or external resources. You will collaborate with our psychiatrists and therapists to help develop and reinforce progress, as appropriate.

Headspace Health coaching is delivered entirely through text-based-chat within the Headspace Health app.

This means as a Headspace Health coach you’ll be providing services through the use of a computer and with a strong ability to translate your skillset into writing. In addition to coaching our members, you’ll also take advantage of weekly team meetings and process groups, as well as 1:1 supervision and peer to peer quality assurance. As an integral part of Headspace Health, you’ll be invited to participate in a bi-annual company event to foster growth, enhance your skills and work side by side with your colleagues to fulfill the mission of our company.

Privacy Statement

All member records are protected according to our Privacy Policy. Further, while employees of Ginger/Headspace Health cannot access Ginger products/services, they will be offered benefits according to the company's benefit plan. To ensure we are adhering to best practice and ethical guidelines in the field of mental health, we take care to avoid dual relationships. A dual relationship occurs when a mental health care provider has a second, significantly different relationship with their client in addition to the traditional client-therapist relationship—including, for example, a managerial relationship.

As such, Ginger requests that individuals who have received coaching or clinical services at Ginger wait until their care with Ginger is complete before applying for a position. If someone with a Ginger account is hired for a position, please note their account will be deactivated and they will not be able to use Ginger services for the duration of their employment.

Further, if Ginger cannot find a role that fails to resolve an ethical issue associated with a dual relationship, Ginger may need to take steps to ensure ethical obligations are being adhered to, including a delayed start date or a potential leave of absence. Such steps would be taken to protect both the former member, as well as any relevant individuals from their care team, from impairment, risk of exploitation, or harm.
