**About the North East Metro Mental Health & Wellbeing Connect **(NEMMHWC)**

Access Health and Community will lead the North East Metro Mental Health & Wellbeing Connect Centres, in partnership with Self Help Addiction Resource Centre (SHARC), healthAbility and Inspiro, to deliver mental health and wellbeing services for families and carers in North East Metro region of Victoria. We aspire to provide a service of hope, recovery and humanity to improve the mental health and wellbeing of families and carers within our community. Our service is codesigned, governed and led by people with lived/living experience as families or carers of people with mental health and/or substance use challenges.

The Community Engagement Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and developing community engagement, carer participation and capacity building activities for the North East Metro Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect service. You will help ensure family, carer, and supporter’s needs and contributions are recognised and actively included in the development and design of services.

As the Community Engagement Coordinator you will have the opportunity to support and lead community/carer engagement, raising the profile of and facilitating access to the North East Metro Connect services, reducing stigma and discrimination associated with carers seeking support for mental health and AOD concerns, and creating partnerships with local organisations, schools and other community members.

This role will also coordinate capacity building and community awareness events, and liaise closely with the Manager, the Lived/Living Experience Practice Lead and the Program Coordinator. Willingness to use your own Lived life experience in an appropriate and respectful manner is also desirable.

The Community Engagement Worker will also coordinate the Connect service’s online presence and impact via social media and The First Stop website. This role may involve some after-hours and off-site work.

**What you will be doing**
- Engage with local service providers, carer groups, and other Connect services to develop strong working partnerships and referral pathways, as well as to plan for activities, events, educational workshops and groups, with a focus on priority stakeholders including services who work with LGBTIQA+ people, young carers, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, and people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds.
- Ensure the Connect activities are promoted in line with health literacy and health promotion principles.
- Implement activities/programs for families, carers, supporters and the broader community which promote access to the Connect services and facilitate engagement with other relevant services.
