We believe in creating the ideal work environment for you because when you are happy, healthy, well-skilled and fulfilled, you're in the best position to have a positive impact on everyone around you. Your Day to Day As a community-based team, we predominantly see our clients either in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that's relevant and appropriate for them. We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable whilst also giving you a diverse role full of variety and learning opportunities. You may see 3 or 4 clients one day, then the next you're working from home or having an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training. This role is ideal if you like to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days - meaning your individuality is recognised + you don't miss family time or life after work.

You will support your clients (12yrs+) to achieve an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person. You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse. You will be trained to provide trauma-informed, person-centred, evidence-based interventions for people in our community experiencing moderate to severe mental health presentations including: acute and chronic psychotic disorders; schizophrenia; bipolar; generalised anxiety; depression; PTSD; alcohol and drug use disorders; mixed anxiety and depression; dissociative (conversion) disorder; sleep problems and OCD.
