Enosh is hiring a student coordinator for its community center in Kiryat Shmona

The profession: a rehabilitation coordinator in mental health

A coordinator at an Enosh community center is an accompanying figure in the community-rehabilitation process: someone who builds a personal connection, drives social and leisure activities, and helps people coping with mental-health conditions carry out their rehabilitation plan under the rehabilitation-basket framework. It is a recognized entry point into the social-work, occupational-therapy and rehabilitation-psychology professions. Per an AllJobs salary review (2025-2026), the average full-time salary in social work is about NIS 11,450 a month, and in psychology about NIS 15,341. A part-time student role like this is usually paid by the hour: Israel's minimum wage was NIS 34.33 an hour through March 2026 and rose to NIS 35.40 an hour from April 1, 2026 (about NIS 6,443.85 for a full-time month).

By the numbers

About the organization

Per the association's site, Enosh was founded in 1978 as an initiative of mothers who sought to improve the quality of life of their children coping with a mental-health disability. Today it is one of the largest and most influential organizations in Israel in the mental-health field: about 1,500 employees, about 1,300 volunteers and 96 centers nationwide, from the Galilee to Eilat. The association works along a continuum of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, and runs, among other things, six balance houses (alternatives to psychiatric hospitalization), housing settings, clubs and community centers, an employment array and services for families - as well as an ongoing fight against the stigma around mental illness.

In Israel and abroad

Enosh operates as part of a global shift that moves the center of gravity in mental health from prolonged hospitalization to community rehabilitation. Israel's Rehabilitation of the Mentally Disabled in the Community Law, enacted in 2000, created the "rehabilitation basket" under which community centers like the one in Kiryat Shmona operate. A community center in the periphery like Kiryat Shmona - a northern border town that has absorbed a great deal in recent years - is an especially important anchor point: it gives people coping with mental-health conditions a safe place, routine and activity, and gives the accompanying student a chance to learn rehabilitation work from the inside.

How the role works

Per the listing, the role includes building a personal connection with people coping with mental-health conditions and helping them carry out rehabilitation plans, individual and group work, preparing and leading social and leisure activities, guiding professional facilitators and volunteers during an activity day, and accompanying events and trips at the community center and beyond, with an emphasis on leadership and responsibility over a large, safe space. Requirements: a bachelor's degree in social work, occupational therapy, psychology, criminology, behavioral sciences or non-formal education; a master's in community mental health, criminology or clinical/rehabilitation psychology is an advantage; willingness to work afternoon hours; experience in mental health is an advantage; and sensitivity, creativity, excellent interpersonal skills and teamwork. The role includes professional guidance and supervision.

Who it is for

For students of social work, occupational therapy, psychology, criminology, behavioral sciences or non-formal education who want real field experience in mental health alongside their studies - especially anyone living in the Kiryat Shmona area and the north. The 50% scope and afternoon hours allow it to fit around a class schedule, and the option of recommendations toward a master's degree turns the role into a springboard rather than just temporary work. The role is open to women and men alike.

We are an organization of people, and here the person is at the center - we see our workers, we listen, and we speak eye to eye (from the job description).

An honest status

This is a part-time role (50%) in afternoon hours, and the listing does not state a wage - which is likely hourly. The work is emotionally demanding: accompanying people coping with mental-health conditions requires stability, patience and boundaries. On the other hand, it is one of the best entry points in Israel into the world of community rehabilitation, at the country's largest mental-health organization, with close professional supervision and the option of recommendations toward a master's degree. Worth knowing: the role requires a relevant bachelor's degree (or ongoing studies toward one), so it targets students in the care fields rather than any student.
