**About us**

Mental Health Professionals’ Network (MHPN) is funded by the Federal Government to improve interdisciplinary and collaborative care practices between mental health professionals in Australia.

We support practitioners to work together better to improve referral pathways and consumer outcomes through our two core programs: the **national networks program** and the **online professional development program**.

To do this, we work with our member and partner organisations, professional associations, and other like-minded organisations, within the mental health sector.

**The role**

Positioned within the national networks project team and reporting to the National Networks Program Manager, each Project Officer (PO) has an allocated caseload of volunteer network coordinators across Australia who lead established or newly created MHPN networks.

A key aspect of the role is to provide tailored and strategic administrative support to each volunteer coordinator to ensure network sustainability and viability, including the following key deliverables and accountabilities:
1. Providing tailored support through negotiated arrangements with each network’s volunteer coordinator/s, which defines roles and responsibilities such as:

- Supporting coordinators through end-to-end meeting processes; including engaging coordinators and encouraging them to hold meetings, and administrational support such as drafting invitations and event promotion.
- Providing advice and assistance to secure guest speakers, venue hire and catering.
- Providing strategic advice and support to coordinators to ensure network sustainability.
- Managing and coordinating network budgets.
- Promoting MHPN’s interdisciplinary professional development webinars.

2. Maintaining network data in the MHPN portal and Microsoft Access database by consistently updating network information and statistics.

3. Working within the national networks project team to problem solve and develop solutions/action plans, including but not limited to:

- Engaging and supporting a clinical mix of identified core clinicians in networks.
- Supporting recruitment of additional members to networks.
- Reinvigorating networks that have become inactive through direct contact with network coordinators, members and external stakeholders.
- Establishing new networks which align with MHPN’s strategic priorities. This will involve contacting warm leads via phone.

4. Contributing to effective teamwork by collaborating with and supporting other team members.

5. Contributing to MHPN’s communications and marketing team with information and narratives about networks and meetings.

6. Providing excellent customer service to network coordinators, external stakeholders and members of MHPN.

- Experience working with multi-disciplinary mental health teams
- Experience in working within a national mental health program involving mental health professionals
- Understanding of the needs of mental health professionals
- Ability to use multiple online systems and contribute to the development of systems and processes
