Youth Prevention and Recovery Care (YPARC) is a short stay residential service, delivered in partnership with Victorian hospital networks and Health Service, to support young people aged 16-25 years who require additional support to manage their mental health. YPARC is a ‘step-up, step-down’ program to assist in the transition from an acute hospital setting to prevent hospital admissions for those entering directly from the community. The service provides individualised 1:1 support, shared supports and group work based on young people’s strengths to enable them to achieve their recovery goals, enhance relationships with families and carers, develop everyday living and social skills, build community networks, and increase confidence and capacity to live safely in the community.
We are seeking compassionate, self-motivated Community Mental Health Practitioners for permanent part time opportunity (32 hours per week) to work alongside a caring team on a 24/7 rotating roster in Frankston. You will provide intensive person-centred, recovery-oriented supports to young people to achieve their wellbeing goals, and build capacity to live independently in the community.
