Additionally, you will lead network meetings and provide group intervention training to enhance carers' capabilities.
To succeed in this role, you need:
- Personal experience in caring for someone with mental health challenges or distress
- Relevant certification or qualifications in the mental health or social science field
- Understanding of family dynamics and carers' impact on health and wellbeing
- Ability to establish empowering partnerships with individuals, families, and carers
You will also require:
- Valid Driver's License and willingness to travel
- Working with Children Check and NDIS Workers Screening
- Right to Work in Australia
- Clear National Police Records
- NDIS Worker Orientation Module Certificate
What we offer:
- A purpose-driven culture promoting respect and diversity
- An inclusive and equitable work environment
- Salary packaging options
