About Us
Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) is a wonderful place to expand your career and grow your skills and knowledge. As a recognised leader in the healthcare industry, we provide a range of public health services to the Nepean, Blue Mountains, and Lithgow Region.
Nepean Hospital is a teaching hospital that provides tertiary referral services in emergency care, coronary care, diagnostics, gynaecology, paediatric, neonatal intensive care/ICU, maternity, mental health, rehabilitation, and surgery. The Nepean Campus has recently experienced tremendous growth and aims to support communities within and outside of Sydney's western suburbs, providing world-class clinical facilities, services, and care.
Join the dedicated Social Work Aged Care Team at Nepean Hospital, where you will play a vital role in supporting patients and their families within the aged care wards. This position offers the opportunity to provide a high-quality social work service that addresses the complex interplay between individuals, their external environments, and the hospital treatment process. Social Work at Nepean Hospital understands that illness and hospitalisation involve significant personal and relational adjustments, often accompanied by a loss of control and independence.
As part of a multidisciplinary health team, you will deliver services including crisis intervention, psychosocial assessments, general counselling, advocacy, case management, therapeutic and grief/loss counselling, and complex discharge planning. Your work will support both patients and the organisation by identifying and resolving psychosocial challenges that impact recovery and transition through the hospital system. By facilitating smooth transitions and addressing emotional and social needs, you will contribute to the overarching goal of patient well-being.
If you are passionate about making a meaningful difference in aged care and thrive in a collaborative hospital environment, we invite you to apply and become part of a team that values compassion, expertise, and holistic care.
