At Stepping Stone ClubhouseInc. (SSCI), mental health support is about partnership, purpose and community. We work alongside Members to build connection, confidence, meaningful participation and opportunities for the future.
We’re looking for multiple Mental Health Support Workers to join the team establishing our recent Ipswich Clubhouse.
In this role you’ll work side by side with Members experiencing mental ill-health, creating opportunities for meaningful participation, connection, confidence, employment, education and community involvement.
This is a hands-on, varied role for people who believe in the strengths and potential of others and enjoy working collaboratively in a vibrant community environment. You’ll help shape the culture and day-to-day life of a new Clubhouse while supporting Members to pursue goals that matter to them.
About Stepping Stone Clubhouse
Stepping Stone Clubhouse is a growing not for profit organisation creating pathways to better mental health.
Through the internationally recognised Clubhouse Model, we work alongside people experiencing mental ill health as Members of a vibrant community where everyone contributes, learns and grows together. Employment, education and meaningful communityparticipation are central to recovery, and every day we work alongside Members to help them achieve their goals.
Our values guide everything we do.
We have Purpose. We value Enjoyment. We are Agile. We Belong. We are a Community.
As we continue to grow across South-East Queensland, we're investing in our people, strengthening leadership capability and building an organisation where staff feel supported, valued and empowered to make a genuine difference.
About the Opportunity
We are recruiting multiple Mental Health Support Workers to become part of the foundation team for our newest Clubhouse in Ipswich.
As a Mental Health Support Worker, you’ll work alongside Members throughout the work-ordered day, supporting them to contribute their skills, build confidence and connection, develop routines and pursue personal goals.
Rather than working in a traditional support-worker model, you’ll participate with Members in the everyday operation of the Clubhouse. One day you might be working alongside Members on Clubhouse projects or administration, and another you might be supporting someone to explore employment or education, undertaking outreach, helping facilitate a social activity or connecting with community organisations.
As Ipswich is a new Clubhouse, you’ll also have the opportunity to help build its culture, activities, community connections and Member base from the ground up.
