What you'll be doing

Family Workers staff the Family Residential Program and provide the crucial 'in situ' mental health interventions that make our service unique.

Family workers act as agents of change, seeking to find opportunities for improved interactions in the 'here and now' of family life.

A main focus is on empowering parents/carers to find better ways of helping the children in their care. A respectful partnership with all family members is an essential prerequisite to achieving positive outcomes.

The role involves care coordination throughout a families contact with the service by liaising with allocated families and their referrers.

This central role involves preparing families for admission, organising the care required during their stay, providing therapeutic interventions with other members of the team during the admission, reporting back to referring agents following the stay, and providing some telephone follow up support to the family.
