Heidelberg, Australia Austin Health Full time

Austin Health is the major provider of tertiary health services, health professional education and research across 3 campuses in the northeast of Melbourne and state-wide. Austin Health is world-renowned for its research and specialist work in cancer, liver transplantation, spinal cord injuries, neurology, endocrinology, mental health and rehabilitation.

An exciting opportunity currently exists for an enthusiastic carer peer worker to join our** Adolescent Inpatient Unit.** This is a part time position.

**The Adolescent Inpatient Unit at Austin Health** is a small inpatient unit that works closely with young people and their carers to achieve positive outcomes in all areas of functioning. We have 11 beds, and are based at the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg. Adolescents who have turned 13 (but are not yet 18 years of age) are admitted for mental health assessment and treatment when their presentation presents high levels of risk, or when a more specialised service is required for assessment and treatment.

These young people may be experiencing significant acute and complex emotional, behavioural and/or social difficulties and have usually had some outpatient treatment. The team is also supported by Austin School teaching staff who work to keep young people connected to their home schools or to help them reconnect to appropriate education pathways.

**Feedback from our families**:

- “Thank you for the time you so generously gave to understand our teenager’s condition and circumstances surrounding this. Thank you for the life-saving support and care you all have provided. Thank you”_
- “To the team
- your caring, non-judgemental approach is exactly what is needed. Thank you for catching our teenager in their time of need”_

**On the adolescent unit particularly we offer**:

- **A dynamic and highly skilled multidisciplinary team**:

- **Regular individual and group supervision**:

- **Collegiate and supportive team culture**:

- **Opportunity to learn and connect with highly specialist CYMHS clinicians across a wide variety of specialist roles**:

- **Capacity to make real and lasting change in the lives of young people and their carers/families**
