Assist clients to navigate services, providing transport to appointments at times

Ensure linkage with appropriate health practitioners, community services and recreational groups

At least 7 years of relevant experience or 5 years of relevant experience with an appropriate qualification; or equivalent

Recent experience working with individuals in crisis and with mental health issues

An understanding of the Area Mental Health Service and principles and practices of DHHS Recovery-Oriented Practice in Mental Health
