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.
This is a flexible, independent role of up to 4 hours a week, at $200 per hour. It suits a senior practitioner who wants meaningful, ongoing work with one client.
What you'll do
- Monitor the quality and consistency of support from a team of NDIS-funded carers, and raise and resolve issues with the provider
- Liaise with his treating psychiatrist and GP so care stays coordinated and communication is transparent
- 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
- Degree in social work and eligible for AASW membership (Accredited Mental Health Social Worker preferred)
- Senior experience in acute mental health settings, with a solid understanding of psychosis and relapse prevention
- Experience coordinating care across several providers, including NDIS
- Calm, mature, reliable and good at building trust over time
