About the Way Back Program:

The Way Back (TWB) Program was first developed by Beyond Blue in 2014, a psychosocial service response to provide psychosocial support for people following suicide attempt or experiencing a suicide crisis. TWB Program is now delivered nationally across most states and territories in Australia.

The opportunity:

This exciting Care Coordinator position is currently open within The Way Back Program team located in the heart of Maroochydore CBD on beautiful Gubbi Gubbi country.

We welcome applicants from Gympie, with the flexibility to split time working part-time from both our Gympie and Maroochydore offices.

This service is focused on building personal connection, maintaining regular contact with the individual, and supporting them to connect with formal and informal support networks, including integration with relevant community services. Collaboration is key, especially in supporting the individual to address barriers they have identified as contributing to their stressors and distress. Additionally, you will strive to empower the individual by involving them in their recovery process and enhancing their awareness of available supports once they complete the 12-week program.

Discover a meaningful opportunity with the Way Back Program, where your compassion can truly make a difference. As part of our team, you'll provide vital psychosocial support to individuals navigating suicidal crises or recovering from suicide attempts.
