NSCC ICF Instructor and Mentor Coach
ICF-Credentialed (ACC with 2+ years experience, PCC or MCC preferred) • Contract • US-based • Hybrid (Virtual + In-Person)
We're looking for an ICF-credentialed coach who genuinely loves teaching and wants a paid, science-grounded teaching practice without the work of building the business behind it.
ABOUT NSCC
The Nervous System Certification Certification (NSCC) is a 12-week program designed by Jessica Maguire that trains working coaches, helping professionals, and emerging coaches in the science and applied practice of nervous system regulation. We serve a global community of 200,000+ practitioners and deliver successful online and in-person cohorts.
NSCC runs four to six cohorts annually across live virtual delivery and live in-person on the west and east coast,  and Europe in 2028.
The program is organized around four pillars: Trauma-Sensitive Sequencing, Advanced Practitioner Self-Regulation, Neuroeducation, and Supportive Practitioner Community. We are grounded in current polyvagal-informed science — not in trend language or self-appointed authority. Integrity matters more to us than visibility.
THE ROLE
As Instructor + Mentor Coach, you will teach on session and participate in a Q & A session within the 12-week curriculum and facilitate the mentor coaching cohorts. Our hope is that you will design coaching-specific training and refine them over time as the program evolves.
This is a contract role with the potential for growth.Â
