Peer Worker or Mental Health Worker
2 weeks ago
**Flourish Australia has an exciting opportunity for a **Peer Worker or Mental Health Worker** to join our growing **Sydney** teams**:
The position available is:
- **Ongoing full-time** **(76 hrs/fortnight)**:
- **Working Monday - Friday**:
- **Based at our established Surry Hills Buckingham House Centre**:
- **Attractive hourly rates equivalent to SCHCADS Level 3 $34.04-$36.50/hour + 10.5% Super+ tax-free salary packaging**
**About the Opportunity**:
As a Mental Health Worker or Peer Worker, you will work in the community to support people accessing our services who have a lived experience of mental health issues to achieve their hopes and dreams. You will play an important part in assisting people to maintain wellness and realise their goals. On a day to day basis you will:
- Listen to and create opportunities and activities that meet the interests and goals of people.
- Encourage shared learning experiences, and support skill development at every opportunity through self-directed learning, information and education.
- Ensure that individual support is provided to a person that accesses Flourish Australia services that meet their recovery journey goals and is strengths based and led by the person wherever possible.
- Be ‘hands on’ and involved in direct service delivery.
The difference between the two roles is a **Peer Worker** is required to use their **lived experience of a mental health issue and personal recovery** openly, appropriately and effectively to build professional relationships with the people they support that also experience a mental health issue.
**Peer Workers** will also use their lived experience to inform and contribute to staff learning, service understanding, and delivering person-led, strengths focused, recovery based language, documentation, training and actions. As a Peer Worker, you will also use your lived experience to work as an advocate on an individual basis and systemically (as required).
It is **not** a requirement for **Mental Health Workers** to use their lived experience of a mental health issue in their everyday work.
For more information about what it means to be a **Peer Worker** with Flourish Australia, please review the Position Description and the Peer Worker information statement “What You Should Consider Before Becoming A Peer Worker”.
