- Contribute to the development, implementation and monitoring of practice innovation within the portfolio.
- Contribute to an environment that will disrupt disadvantage for young people through utilising a healing orientated practice model that proactively responds to young people who have experienced adverse experiences.

**ESSENTIAL**

- Knowledge and understanding of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022
