Grade 3 Social Worker | 0.6 EFT | Monash Medical Centre | Ongoing, Part-Time

Ready to take your social work practice into a role whereclinical expertise,



creativity and genuine human connection can change the course of someone’s day—and sometimes their life?

Join the EMAAP Team at Monash Medical Centre, supporting people presenting to the Clayton Emergency Department with behavioural health concerns, complex psychosocial needs and situations that demand more than a ‘quick fix’. This is social work at its most dynamic:clinical, collaborative, fast‑paced and deeply person‑centred. Be the clinician who helps make the next step possible.

- Provide senior clinical care to people experiencing behavioural health and complex psychosocial challenges.
- Complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments, brief interventions and collaborative care planning to understand the whole person—not just the presenting crisis.
- Provide short‑term assertive outreach for up to 28 days post‑discharge, helping people stay connected when continuity of care matters most.
- Turn complex situations into practical pathways forward, reducing psychosocial stressors and supporting safe, timely discharge.
- Build strong connections with community services, health providers and support networks,



creating care that extends well beyond the ED.
- Work with medical and nursing teams, EPS (Emergency Psychiatric Service) clinicians and peer workers, bringing the unique social work lens to complex clinical presentations.
- Lead, educate and supervise, sharing your expertise and helping strengthen social work and interdisciplinary practice across the service.

This is an opportunity for an experienced senior social worker who enjoys clinical complexity, autonomy and collaboration—someone who can think critically, build rapport quickly, navigate systems confidently and advocate fiercely for the person in front of them. You’ll be part of a team that values recovery, partnership, innovation and the power of a strong therapeutic relationship. And because this is a senior clinical role, you won’t just be delivering care—you’ll help shape it.
