We have been supporting people living with the day-to-day impacts of mental illness, as well as their families, friends and carers for over 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 compassionate, resilient Peer Practitioner for a Permanent part-time opportunity (26.6 hours per week) to work alongside the Youth Step-Up Step-Down (YSUSD) residential service team in the Caboolture area. You will use your lived/living experience of mental health challenges to provide intensive, person-centred, recovery-oriented support to young people, helping them achieve their wellbeing goals, build capacity and daily living skills, strengthen social connections, enhance community networks, and grow confidence to live independently. You must be able to work a 24/7 rotating roster, including afternoon shifts, sleepover shifts, night shifts, and weekends.
Youth Step-Up Step-Down (YSUSD) is a short-term residential mental health recovery service for young people aged 16-21, delivered in partnership with the local health service. It provides intensive individual and group support to promote resilience, social connection, self-care, and wellbeing. YSUSD offers a 'step up' for those needing more support to avoid hospital admission and a 'step down' for those transitioning back to the community after a hospital stay. Each young person actively plans their recovery, with the YSUSD team working alongside families, carers, and other key people in their lives.
