Ballarat, Australia Ballarat Health Services Full time

**About the Role**

Grampians Health will deliver a day stay and residential (homestay) service in a new purpose-built Early Parenting Centre in Lucas, Ballarat Victoria.

EPCs are dedicated facilities to support mothers, fathers, parents, carers, families and their children up to four years of age. EPCs deliver a suite of core services through a nurse-led multidisciplinary care team.

High quality and safe EPC service delivery is best achieved through a workforce built on a:

- strong nursing leadership team, including Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Nurses, that provides leadership and clinical oversight and support for the multidisciplinary clinical team; and
- collaborative multidisciplinary clinical team founded on a nursing backbone (MCH Nurses, registered nurses, registered midwives, enrolled nurses), complemented by allied health such as social workers and psychologists and other specialist staff such as Aboriginal heath care workers and General Practitioners.

The service will provide flexible targeted services including group sessions, day stay, 4-night stay program, outreach and telehealth targeted to enhance the parent-child relationship and support parents with strategies to achieve their parenting goals.

**Position Purpose**

Under the delegation and supervision of the ANUM/AMUM or Maternal and Child Health Nurse, you will oversee and deliver routine care and education to families in the Grampians Health region based on the EPC’s model of care. You will work as part of the nurse led multidisciplinary team and with external organisations using strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to support best outcomes for mothers, fathers, parents, carers, families and their children up to four years of age. You will promote positive health, growth, development and wellbeing in infants, children and families, and recognise and respond to factors that impede this.

The EPP works competently within their scope of practice to deliver safe, evidence-based patient-centred care. As part of the nurse led multidisciplinary team, the EPP will work across all GEPC parenting programs required. These include day stay, home stay and outreach programs.

The program has a strong focus on family/child/patient-centred care and the EPP will demonstrate this along with the ability to work within our organisational values.

- Work as part of the nurse led multidisciplinary team to support parents to achieve their parenting goals.
- Maintain an understanding of parenting challenges and promote prevention, early intervention and help-seeking opportunities.
- Maintain awareness of scope of practice and exercise initiative to escalate concerns to an MCH nurse, registered nurse or midwife who has delegated care to you.
- Recognise and promote factors that contribute to connection to culture and community diversity and promote self-determination in decision-making.

**Skills & Experience**
- Diploma or above level qualification in Early Childhood Development, Family Therapy, Social Work, Community Education or Child and Maternal Health
- Ability to develop trust and rapport with patients and families
- Demonstrated ability to strengthen client capacity to reach their goals
- Ability to work a rotating roster consisting of days and nights throughout the EPC
