YFS is looking for a part time Mental Health Support and Advocacy Worker for our Home and Healthy program.
Home and Healthy is a Psychosocial Support Program delivered in partnership between YFS, Micah and IUIH. YFS covers the Logan and Beaudesert areas. The program supports participants who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and experiencing severe mental illness with reduced psychosocial functioning.
You’ll be part of a small team providing person-centred, recovery focused, practical, flexible support. You will support participants to identify and develop recovery goals, to connect with other clinical and non-clinical services and to build their capacity for improving and maintaining their health and wellbeing. You’ll also assist participants and collaborate with housing providers to resolve tenancy issues and/or address homelessness.
Aside from meeting the key capabilities outlined in the related role description available from www.yfs.org.au/work-for-us, ideally you will bring the following: a client focus, resilience, flexibility, inclusiveness, a collaborative spirit, and cultural awareness.
At YFS, we make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable people living in the Logan and surrounding area. And we want our staff to thrive, too so we offer great opportunities to develop your career.
We’re serious about your professional development. Half of our managers have been employed from within. And we empower each other to make decisions and try new ways of working.
We know that a happy workplace thrives. We recognise that staff have their own needs, so we encourage you to bring the entire you to work. Depending on your role, we support a number of flexible work arrangements.
Also, we offer great employment benefits including above-average pay rates, generous salary packaging (exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax) and counselling support.
