Senior Social Worker – Mental Health Care Oversight | Eastern Suburbs | $200/hr

A private family is looking for a senior, highly experienced social worker to oversee the care of a 52-year-old man with long-standing, well-managed schizophrenia. He is stable, content and well supported. The aim is to keep it that way through consistent, skilled oversight.

What you'll do

- Liaise with his treating psychiatrist and GP so care stays coordinated and communication is explicit
- Keep regular contact with him and watch his overall wellbeing, including early warning signs




- Report regularly to the family and attend occasional care reviews

About you

- Senior experience in acute mental health settings, with a solid understanding of psychosis and relapse prevention
