**About the Program**

This is a rare opportunity you will want to be part of. **Women's Prevention and Recovery Care** (Yanna Yanna PARC) is a sub-acute, mental health short-stay residential service in collaboration with Western Health Mental Health & Wellbeing Services. This is the second women and gender diverse PARC unit and the first in Victoria that will also accommodate a small number of women and their children.

**About the Opportunity**

The **Recovery Workers (Mental Health Workers)** are integral to the PARC program as they work closely with participants in their recovery journey whilst at PARC, both individually and with their clinical care teams, and in leading a range of groups and activities onsite. Sleepover Recovery Workers support the 24/7 staffing in the program and provide care and support to participants after hours.

Our Recovery Workers also provide key operational support and help create new innovations and improvements for the ongoing quality of the program.

PARCs are located in a community setting and provide an option for people who are becoming unwell, or who are in the early stages of recovery from an acute illness and need a short period of additional support to strengthen their gains from spending time in an inpatient setting and to consolidate their community transition and recovery treatment plans.

This **womens and gender diverse **PARC provides an essential service within the continuum of care that will empower and provide opportunity to women to seek mental health care and treatment that they may not receive otherwise.

- A purpose driven culture where people can thrive, everyone is respected, and differences are valued
- An equitable, diverse, and socially inclusive work environment
- Salary packaging up to $15,899 enables you to spend a portion of your salary before it is taxed to pay for things like rent, mortgage repayments, car leasing
