About the Role

Our Adult Recovery and Wellbeing Service (ARWS) supports adults with serious, complex and longer-term mental health needs to work towards their recovery goals in the community. We're looking for a Mental Health Clinician to join our established multidisciplinary team.

This role is open to:

- Registered Psychiatric / Mental Health Nurses

- Occupational Therapists

- Psychologists

- Social Workers

You'll manage an allocated caseload, providing case management, treatment and care coordination, including for consumers on Treatment Orders. Whatever your discipline, you'll bring your own qualified lens to the team.

In this role, you will:

- Coordinate access to discipline-specific services, housing, AOD, primary health and community supports, and advocate for consumers as they navigate complex systems

- Support smooth transitions into community care from our acute and inpatient teams and other referral pathways

- Monitor progress against goals and outcome measures, and keep documentation accurate and up to date





- Build strong working relationships with internal teams and external agencies, and contribute to service development and quality improvement

The role currently runs Monday to Friday during business hours. Our model of care is evolving in line with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, so this may change over time.

About You To be successful in this role, you will have:

- A degree in Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Psychology or Social Work, with current AHPRA registration (or eligibility for AASW membership for Social Workers)

- Relevant postgraduate training in mental health

- Demonstrated experience providing direct clinical care to people living with mental illness

- Sound knowledge and application of recovery-oriented practice

- Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage consumers and liaise with families, carers, health professionals and community agencies
- The ability to work in a multidisciplinary team, including joint case work across agencies

- Well-developed written communication and computer skills, including client management systems

- Working knowledge of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 (Vic)

- A commitment to mental health and wellbeing promotion in the community

Experience in community case management will be highly regarded.
