Senior Social Worker – Mental Health Care Oversight | Eastern Suburbs | $200/hr
A private family is looking for a senior, highly experienced social worker to oversee the care of a 52-year-old man with long-standing, well-managed schizophrenia. He is stable, content and well supported. The aim is to keep it that way through consistent, skilled oversight.

- - Report regularly to the family and attend occasional care reviews
