This position is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants only, as Mind Australia considers that being Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander is a genuine occupational requirement for the position under Section 50(d) of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1984 (WA).
Mind Australia is one of the country’s leading community-managed specialist mental health service providers with a range of residential, mobile outreach, centre based and online services. Mind has been supporting people experiencing mental health and wellbeing challenges to find help, hope and purpose in their lives for more than 45 years.
We provide practical and motivational support that helps people to develop the skills they need to move on, thrive and improve the quality of their lives. It’s an approach to mental health and wellbeing that looks at the whole person in the context of their daily life. Mind is committed to diversity and social inclusion.
We are seeking a resilient, compassionate Aboriginal Recovery Worker for a fixed-term, part-time (12 hours per week) opportunity to work on Whadjuk & Bindjareb Countries at the Step Up Step Down (SUSD) service. In this role, you will deliver personalised, recovery-oriented care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living with mental ill health in the community. You will work closely with clients to help them achieve their recovery goals through one-on-one support, shared supports, workshops, and group facilitation, fostering personal growth, building capacity and life skills, and strengthening connections with the local community and elders.
This role is essential to support our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) by promoting cultural safety, building partnerships with local Aboriginal Health Services and elders, and advocating for improved services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Rockingham Step-Up Step-Down (or Kwelena SUSD) residential service, delivered in partnership with Southern Metropolitan Health Service and Housing Choices, supports clients up to 30 days to transition from an acute hospital setting or prevent hospital admissions for people entering directly from the community.
