Your Opportunity

The Universal Aftercare Service is a non-clinical support service focused on providing rapid, practical psychosocial support to people experiencing a suicidal crisis or who have attempted suicide. We are looking for passionate and driven Care Coordinators to join this service to reach and support communities that may not typically engage with the health system. The program will deliver intensive, specialised support across the Shoalhaven and Goulburn regions, with a focus on engaging men, including Aboriginal men, through culturally safe and responsive services. Our Care Coordinators work alongside Peer Workers to support people experiencing suicidal crisis and/or distress, within a recovery framework and in collaboration with other services to build independence, community integration and healing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Undertake initial intake and safety planning for clients and work with individuals and their families to create individualized case plans.
  • Provide ongoing support sessions with clients and review progression and safety as required.
  • Support and promote family, carers, friends and kin involvement in safety and support planning in collaboration with clients.
  • Liaise with other support services and organisations to coordinate the requirements of the case plan.
  • Deliver group programs which support the practical needs of the clients.
  • Assist clients in the process of transition out of the service into independence or other services.
  • Ensure documentation is completed and updated in line with Mission Australia protocols.
Requirements for Success
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications and/or significant relevant work experience
  • A sound understanding of mental health and suicidality, mental health systems and recovery-oriented practice, as well as psycho-social rehabilitation.
  • Experience working within a peer workforce, with a focus on trauma-informed, recovery-oriented practice and valuing lived experience
  • A sound knowledge of crisis intervention services and their functions within the region and steps to engage individuals into these services.
  • Case management experience
  • Computer literacy preferably using Windows
  • Current NSW Driver's Licence
  • Current First Aid Certificate

Before starting work with us, you will need to undertake a national police history check, qualifications and referee checks, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people.

  • Not-for-profit salary packaging, reducing your tax
  • Free external, confidential counselling
  • Volunteering opportunities
  • Opportunity to purchase additional annual leave
