Reconnect Advisor

**The opportunity**
As a ReCONNECT Advisor, you’ll make a positive contribution to people’s lives by supporting workers and their families affected by work injury.

**The position**
In this role you will collaborate with workers and their support person to create a plan that helps them navigate to appropriate services, reducing non-compensable barriers to returning to work. You will contribute to team meetings to understand priorities, maintain accurate records, and utilise your interviewing skills through phone calls, online platforms, or in-person meetings to quickly build rapport. You will actively participate in the development, implementation, and review of service guidelines, protocols, and activities, ensuring a commitment to delivering a high-quality service. This role encourages creative thinking and exploration of new avenues while promoting a culture of positive well-being.
