Refugee and Asylum Seeker Information Centre (RAIC) is seeking qualified mental health practitioners to assist our Cope mental health program. Mental health practitioners will be responsible for providing one on one psychosocial support to members of the refugee and asylum seeker community in Indonesia who have been identified as requiring further assistance outside the scope of the community peer-led program. All sessions will be conducted remotely, via an online platform.
We are asking for a 6-month minimum commitment with the number of clients supported determined by availability of the practitioner. The frequency of the sessions will be at the discretion of the mental health practitioner based on their professional opinion and the needs of the individual client. Where required, translators will be provided by RAIC.
All referrals will be received through the Cope Project Coordinator.
This is a volunteer position.
