Your Opportunity

The service is supported by a multidisciplinary team including Treatment Facilitators, Psychiatrist and Support Workers with our nursing staff being the primary providers of health support to people in the program.

Coupled with your clinical skill set, you will also have:

• An understanding of how Residential Care works and be comfortable in this environment, which can include challenging situations
• Excellent rapport-building skills – you’ll be liaising with both internal and external stakeholders, so strong working relationships are important

• A flexible, open, and engaging approach – you’ll be working with a range of clients with differing needs and complexities
• Strong communication skills, ability to self-manage and also work collaboratively as part of a team
