**About the Role**

This is a meaningful opportunity to use your own personal experience as a family member, or carer of a person who experiences mental illness - in a constructive manner to benefit our clients.

You’re naturally outgoing and can easily build rapport with people - you love chatting with people and listening to their stories.

This role will require an understanding of recovery principles, along with your own carer perspective and experience of the mental health system / services.
