About the program

Youth Community Living Support Service (YCLSS) is a NSW government funded initiative that delivers time-limited specialist community based psychosocial support services designed for your people, aged 15 to 24 (inclusive), with serious mental illness, who have, or are at risk of developing, functional disability because of their mental health problems. The service is delivered in five targeted locations across NSW in close partnership with Local Health Districts, with a focus on coordinated and integrated care. YCLSS offers young people flexible hours and types of support to ensure that support meet a person's current needs and goals. All services are provided within the context of a recovery model and in a way that empowers individuals to live in the community with optimum self-determination and independence.

About the role

We are seeking a Support Worker to join our supportive team here at Wellways Australia. As an integrated member of the YCLSS team, Support Workers walk alongside participants, providing intensive support to participants to address key development areas that support transition into adulthood: social skills, leadership, decision making, teamwork, healthy lifestyle, community service, responsibility, self-identity, self-esteem, and resilience. Essential to achieving these objectives is supporting the participant to identify and nurture natural supports that sustain recovery and assist in the development of self-management skills.

An essential part of every YCLSS team member's role is the timely and accurate recording of participant information and data. All Wellways services are informed by Wellways' Well Together Model, Practice Principles, Program Pathways and Recovery Frameworks.

In order to support participants accessing Wellways Programs, YCLSS Workers are required to travel across the Blacktown, Hills and Parramatta LGA's using a work vehicle.
