About us: The Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs (MHAOD) Service is leading the way in innovative perinatal mental health care. As pioneers of an Australian-first model, we are proud to deliver the Perinatal Acute Mental Health Hospital in the Home (PAMH-HITH) program, providing women and birthing people experiencing severe and acute perinatal mental illness with specialist, hospital-level care close to home.
This service is designed to operate as a virtual inpatient bed admission model, where consumers receive hospital-equivalent care in their home environment rather than within a traditional inpatient unit or Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) as a proposed interim model designed to meet the care needs of the community until a time when a physical MBU can be established in the Cairns and Hinterland region.
Join a passionate, multidisciplinary team that is redefining perinatal mental health care and improving outcomes for women, babies and families across Central Queensland. Our values were developed by our staff, patients and community. They guide our work and actions every day. Our staff are part of the community we serve. We believe that we can improve health outcomes by involving our community in the planning and evaluation of their local health services.
About your role: Deliver high-quality, evidence-based, clinical perinatal acute mental health services (including mental health assessment, treatment, investigation, diagnosis, and short-term management) in accordance with professional and ethical standards. Apply independent clinical judgement and decision making to complex clinical presentations. Comply with the timely and accurate input and collection of consumer related demographic information, diagnosis, outcomes collections and provision of service activity into appropriate electronic databases. Proactively participate in the multidisciplinary team and actively promote the services and profile of Access Services within the Hospital and Health Service.
What we offer: Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health service offer a number of workplace benefits. Besides attractive remuneration, generous superannuation, salary packaging and career development opportunities, we value a healthy work/life balance that allows you take advantage of the sunshine, hiking tracks, swimming spots, reef and rainforest. Learn what it's like to work with us, in an inclusive and supportive work environment. Discover our dynamic and culturally diverse region through community and lifestyle.
