About this opportunity

The Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) and Enhanced Adult Community Living Supports (CLS) programs are NSW government funded initiatives that deliver specialist community based psychosocial support services for people aged 16 years and older, with serious mental illness.

Rehabilitation and Recovery Workers walk alongside participants, supporting participants to identify their hopes, aspirations and goals, and work together to develop recovery plans that help participants achieve their goals.

Rehabilitation and Recovery Workers provide direct, practical support to participants that help them regain, keep, and improve skills, including self-management skills, while also supporting participants to identify and nurture natural supports that sustain recovery. Essential to sustaining natural supports is that Rehabilitation and Recovery Workers work not just with individuals, but also with families and communities.
