Community Support Worker

Job no: 859384
Work type: Full time
Location: Far North
Categories: Community Services

  • Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network, Whyalla Hospital and Health Services, Whyalla
  • Salary: $1, $1,095.10 per week - Temporary Full Time (up to 25 April WHA3
  • Multiple Positions Available

The Community Support Worker Role

Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network (FUNLHN) has moved to a Consumer Directed Care model for the provision of aged care, disability and support services. This allows consumers to maintain greater control over their lives by allowing them to make choices about the services they receive and who delivers those services. Consumers are encouraged to actively participate in identifying and setting goals, and to determine what level of involvement they want in managing their own care arrangements.

Under this model of care, the funding associated with the role of the Community Support Worker is controlled by consumers, rather than by the health provider. This means that consumers have an active role in determining the shifts that are available, the duties that are performed, the frequency of demand for the service, and the choice of provider organisation.

The Community Support Worker is integral to supporting this model of care by providing services including personal care, cleaning, meal preparation, transport and social support, to persons who are aged, frail or disabled and who wish to remain living in their own home with some assistance or are living in a Residential Aged Care facility.

Community Support Workers need to be flexible, conscientious and empathetic and be able to work autonomously in the community. They will work closely and collaboratively with the consumer, their family and other health professionals, to provide quality outcomes and maintain consumer independence where possible.

FUNLHN supports staff to further develop their skills across a variety of areas. Ongoing education is encouraged and enables staff to provide quality and responsive services to consumers.

Must have a current drivers licence and willingness to drive as well as access to a reliable, registered and insured (minimum of third party insurance) motor vehicle. Must be contactable by telephone.

Whyalla Hospital and Health Services is part of the Whyalla Eastern Eyre and Far North Health Service, and is a modern, comprehensive health unit. Whyalla provides a wide range of services utilising local general practitioners, resident specialists, visiting specialists and telemedicine for people in the surrounding areas.

The South Australian public sector promotes diversity and flexible ways of working part-time. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the flexible working arrangements for this role.

Appointment will be subject to a satisfactory Criminal History Check and appropriate immunisation requirements.

The Region

In The Flinders and Upper North Local Health Network, you can experience cultural diversity, outback locations and regional city conveniences, whilst working in innovative roles to improve the community's health outcomes and wellbeing.

FUNLHN Information
