About the Role and You

This role is for people with a lived experience of mental illness and recovery. It is a part time (30.4 hours per fortnight) 12 month fixed-term position. The position is based at Casey, but the role requires working across multiple sites.

We are looking for a Consumer Consultant to join our team of lived experience staff to support engagement and participation within the Mental Health Program.

You will use your personal lived experience of 'mental illness' and recovery, and knowledge of current issues and needs of consumers, to contribute to quality improvement, policy, service design, and evaluation from the consumer perspective.

You will provide expert advice and consultation on consumer lived experience perspectives to the Mental Health Program via various means including membership on Committees, working groups, training, and quality improvement projects. You will support participation through the recruitment, orientation, and support of Community Advisors. You will also support the administration and evaluation of the Your Experience of Service (YES) and Carer Experience of Service (CES) consumer surveys.

This position will also support a 12 month Enabling Consumer Carer Feedback Loops Pilot Initiative, which is focused on collecting and responding to consumer and carer feedback.

In return, you will benefit from a supportive working environment in our growing team of lived experience staff, including consumer and family/carer Consultants and Peer Workers.

What’s in it for you?

You will be part of a dynamic changing environment that will have future growth. You will also have access to a range of corporate benefits, including salary packaging options that can significantly increase your take home pay and access to subside staff car parking.

Monash Health recognises the value of equal employment opportunity and is committed to patient safety and promoting fairness, equity and diversity in the workplace. At Monash Health we are relentless in our pursuit of excellence and work to our six guiding principles.
