What your day could look like

As a Social Worker, you'll play an important role in helping individuals and families access the support they need to achieve better health and wellbeing. From delivering person-centred interventions to working alongside multidisciplinary teams, your contribution will help create positive outcomes across the Southern region.

Every day, you'll contribute by:

- Providing high-quality social work support that improves patient wellbeing and care outcomes.
- Partnering with patients, families and healthcare professionals to navigate complex situations and plan effective support.
- Supporting service improvements that enhance patient experiences and strengthen care delivery.
- Sharing knowledge, mentoring emerging practitioners and contributing to a culture of learning and collaboration.

Let's talk about you!

You're someone who combines professional expertise with genuine compassion. You communicate with empathy, build trust quickly and remain focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for people during challenging times. Guided by integrity, dignity, innovation and courage, you enjoy working autonomously while contributing to a connected and supportive team. You'll take pride in helping individuals, families and communities access the right care at the right time and making a meaningful difference where it matters most.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

- Eligibility for skilled social work membership and a recognised social work qualification.
- Strong clinical assessment, intervention and case management skills.
- Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams and build positive stakeholder relationships.




- A current C class driver's licence and willingness to travel as required.

You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience in rural or regional healthcare and/or experience supporting students or less experienced practitioners.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone passionate about improving lives, strengthening communities and delivering care that reflects our values of Compassion, Integrity, Dignity, Innovation and Courage.
