What you will be doing:

An exciting opportunity is available for a Social Worker to join the Aged Care team at Nepean Hospital.

As a member of this team you will provide a high quality social work service to the patients and their families within the aged care wards/areas of the hospital.


Social Work looks at the complex interactions between individuals as patients, their environment outside the hospital, and the treatment process within the hospital setting.

Social Work recognises that illness and admission to hospital involves adjustment within the individual and within their relationships with their outside world.

It also recognises that in the process of admission and treatment in hospital the patient experiences a degree of loss of control and independence.

It is in this context that social work takes a central role in the hospital goal of fostering the psychological, emotional and social well-being of patients

Social Work provides a service to both the patient and the organization.

Our service to patients is in identifying and dealing with psychosocial problems that arise as a result of, or that are contributing to problems in adjusting to the crisis of illness, treatment and hospitalisation.

Our service to the organization is in identifying and dealing with psychosocial problems that hinder the smooth transition of patients through the hospital treatment system.

We recognise that these two aspects of our service work together toward the paramount goal of patient well-being. If psychosocial problems are resolved then a smooth transition is facilitated, and conversely, a smooth transition will enhance the patient's emotional and social well-being

An eligibility list may be created for future vacancies.

About us:


Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is a wonderful place to expand your career and grow your skills and knowledge.

As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we provide a range of public health services to the Nepean and Blue Mountains and Lithgow Region.


All NSW Health workers are now required to have received 3 doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine or have an approved medical contraindication certificate. You will be required to provide a record of your COVID-19 vaccination status if successful.

  • Degree in Social Work with eligibility for membership of the AASW.
  • Demonstrated understanding of the psycho
- social impact of unexpected hospitalisation due to illness, accident or trauma

  • Demonstrated ability to complete psychosocial assessments and to formulate and implement appropriate discharge and care plan in a short time frame for patients in an inpatient setting.
