Youth Peer Worker, Child

1 week ago

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Queensland Government Full time

We're excited to welcome a youth peer worker to our Youth Early Psychosis (YEP) Team.
Sunshine Coast Health is in southeast Queensland and extends through the coastal and hinterland areas from Caloundra in the south and Gympie in the north.
Sunshine Coast Health is a values-based organisation. We are committed to the maintenance of a culture in which we treat our colleagues with respect as we do our patients, consumers and the community. We respect, protect and promote human rights in our decision-making and actions.
The YEP team provides community mental health treatment and interventions to young people aged 12-25 years (and their families and carers), who are suspected of experiencing their first episode of psychosis, and would likely benefit from intensive/specialist, multidisciplinary clinical assessment and care for a time frame of up to two years.
The youth peer worker works with the clinical team and assists the young people (families & carers) receiving care from YEP. They utilise their own lived experience of mental health issues to help the team, young people and families & carers to develop a better understanding of recovery from mental illness through this lived experience.
**Key Responsibilities include**:
Serve as a positive role model to consumers and staff.
Effectively communicate with consumers and demonstrate understanding, empathy, patience and a positive service focus.
Assist with facilitation and planning of groups that focus on a consumer perspective.
Co-facilitate training to all staff and students as required.
Lived Experience positions - Under Section 25 of the Act, it is a genuine occupational requirement of these positions to have a personal lived experience of mental illness and recovery and/or caring for someone with a lived experience of mental illness and recovery.
