As a Social Worker, you'll play an important role in supporting adults on their mental health recovery journey. From delivering evidence-informed interventions to advocating for individuals and families, you'll work alongside a dedicated multidisciplinary team to create positive outcomes and strengthen pathways to recovery.

Every day, you'll contribute by:

• Partnering with consumers, carers and healthcare professionals to strengthen care planning and service coordination.
• Contributing to quality improvement initiatives that enhance service delivery and improve patient outcomes.
• Sharing knowledge and supporting students and colleagues to foster a culture of learning and excellence.

You're someone who combines professional expertise with genuine compassion. You build trust quickly, communicate with confidence, and work collaboratively to support people through complex situations. You take pride in helping individuals regain stability, strengthen connections and work towards recovery. Guided by integrity, dignity, innovation and courage, you're committed to making a lasting difference through person-centred care.

• Experience applying contemporary social work practice in a healthcare or mental health setting.
• Strong communication, advocacy and relationship-building skills within multidisciplinary environments.
