About the program


Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services provide early intervention for participants who are becoming unwell and for those in the early stages of recovery from an acute psychiatric episode, to strengthen and consolidate gains from the inpatient setting.


PARC offers a unique opportunity for participants to work on their recovery journey and strengthen their role in the community by providing coordinated, recovery-oriented treatment and support.

PARC enables participants with severe mental illness to receive both clinical intervention and treatment and active support for their recovery in a safe and supportive environment.

The PARC setting encourages links to participants' natural supports and their participation in community life.

About the opportunity


The role of the Volunteer Supervisor is to oversee volunteers who have been recruited to primarily assist North Fitzroy PARC participants and their families with social inclusion and community connection activities post a PARC admission.


Aspects of this role include:

  • Recruitment of volunteers;
  • Organising relevant training for the volunteers;
  • Ongoing supervision/debriefing of the volunteers;
  • Ensure organisational compliance by maintaining volunteer paperwork, and records; and
  • Deliver reports as required by Wellways

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Relevant qualifications or commensurate experience working in a support role for people with a mental health challenge
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Right to work within Australia
  • Current valid Driver's Licence and the ability to undertake some travel
