About the opportunity

This is a truly rare and rewarding opportunity to make a difference within the community. In partnership with St Vincent's Hospital, Wellways operate a Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) service North Fitzroy. Its multidisciplinary recovery team is creative, motivated and focused on ensuring positive experiences for participants and their loved ones.

The Program Workers are integral to the PARC program as they work closely with participants in their recovery journey whilst at PARC, both individually and with their clinical care teams, and lead a range of groups and activities which aid recovery. Our Program Workers also provide key operational support and help create new innovations and improvements for the ongoing quality of the program.

PARCS operate 24/7 on a rotating roster and penalty rates apply for afternoon and weekend hours.

About the program

PARCs are located in a community setting and provide an option for people who are becoming unwell, or who are in the early stages of recovery from an acute illness and need a short period of additional support to strengthen their gains from spending time in an inpatient setting and to consolidate their community transition and recovery treatment plans.
