The **Aboriginal Mental Health, Social and Emotional Wellbeing Peer Worker** will utilise their lived experience to support Aboriginal patients accessing the NSW Community Forensic Mental Health Services, and to shape the delivery of culturally safe services by the Community Transitions Team (CTT) and the Community Forensic Mental Health Service (CFMHS).

These services provide forensic mental health assessment, care and treatment to people transitioning from custody into the community, and to Forensic Patients living in the community under conditions to receive treatment. This essential role will be pivotal in providing a culturally safe space for Aboriginal patients to identify the support and care that they need to remain living safely in the community.

- A lived experience of social and emotional wellbeing challenges with the ability to draw on your own personal recovery experience to support others.
- Willingness to complete training such as the Certificate IV in Mental Health Peer Work, or Djirruwang program.
