About the RoleThe Suicide Prevention Outreach Team (SPOT) is a NSW Health initiative that aims to reduce deaths by suicide and suicide attempts. The Aboriginal Peer Worker will work in a team to provide holistic recovery oriented, trauma informed and evidence based rapid crisis support to people experiencing suicidality. This may include crisis response with internal or external agencies.
Peer Support Workers are integral members of the team and draw on their lived experience of recovery from suicidality to provide authentic engagement and support and instil confidence and hope in others about the journey of recovery.
