  • Act as recovery champions within the mental health program and may be involved in other activities including training and education, improving experience of care and service evaluation.
  • Provide assertive outreach services to families/Carers in their own environment.

About You

You are an advocate for families and carers who require support during difficult times. As a committed leader and mentor, you are dedicated to safe best practice and quality care. You are passionate about delivering patient-centred care and advocating for patients' rights.
