Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Specialist
1 week ago
This position focuses on supporting young people with complex or high needs, who may be difficult to engage in effective treatment and support. The aim is to guide the future management of these individuals in primary health settings, provide evidence-based interventions, or facilitate referral to specialist settings when required.
The role involves working with young people who may exhibit behaviour indicative of a developing mental health problem, such as prodromal symptoms recognized by parents, teachers, or other service providers. These individuals may require timely access to appropriate and targeted clinical care to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations.
The identified outcomes for this position include:
- Successful therapeutic engagement with young people experiencing or at risk of severe mental illness, who may be considered very hard to engage;
- Better experience of care through integrated and coordinated service models, particularly with headspace centres, child and adolescent mental health services, hospitals, and schools;
- Avoidance of unnecessary hospitalizations through timely access to appropriate and targeted clinical care;
- Active use of a multiagency care plan for young people with or at risk of severe and complex mental illness to link providers across multiple services involved in their care;
- Improved support for families and carers of young people experiencing severe mental illness.
This team provides mental health services to young people in the Riverina region. We are committed to delivering high-quality care that addresses the unique needs of each individual. Our team members work collaboratively to ensure seamless transitions between services and prioritize patient-centered care.
We offer a supportive and inclusive environment where professionals can grow and develop their skills. If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding opportunity.
About the OpportunityThis position offers a challenging yet rewarding career opportunity for a skilled mental health professional. You will have the chance to work with a diverse range of young people and contribute to improving their mental wellbeing.
The NSW Government offers competitive salaries, ranging from $70,049.73 to $128,653.00 per annum, plus superannuation and 17.5% leave loading (where applicable). As a member of our team, you will also have access to salary packaging options and other benefits.
In addition to the above, we offer flexible working arrangements, which allow you to balance your work and personal life effectively. Our organization values work-life balance and recognizes the importance of self-care in maintaining optimal performance.
About the LocationThe Riverina region offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and urban convenience.
