Youth Step Up Step Down (YSUSD) is a short term residential mental health recovery service delivered in partnership with the local health service. YSUSD supports young people aged 16-21 years who are experiencing mental health challenges by providing intensive individual and group based support promoting resilience, social connection, self-care and wellbeing. YSUSD offer ‘a step up’ in mental health support for young people who may otherwise be admitted to hospital or a ‘step down’ in support to help them transition back to living in the community following a mental health related hospital stay. Each young person takes an active role in planning their own mental health recovery and the YSUSD team works with each young person’s family, friends, carers and other important people in their lives (including elders, case managers, schools) as appropriate.
We are seeking a motivated Community Mental Health Practitioner eager to make a difference in young people’s lives for a casual opportunity to work alongside caring team on a 24/7 rotating roster in the Woodridge area. You will provide intensive person-centred, recovery-oriented supports to young people to achieve their wellbeing goals, build capacity and daily living skills, strengthen social connections, enhance community networks and grow confidence to live independently in the community. You must be available for 24/7 shift work.
