What You'll Be Doing
The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is 'exceptional care, healthier lives'. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.
The Level 3 Social Worker is responsible for the provision for psychosocial and parenting interventions with vulnerable families participating in the Sustaining NSW Families (SNF) Program in the SESLHD.
The Social Worker position provides an important function in the team for addressing family's needs that are outside of the scope of the nurse home visitor role. The Social Worker position augments the role of the nurse home visitor in the therapeutic relationship working with children and parents, by allowing the nurse home visitor to concentrate their efforts on the parent-child relationship and the parental job of parenting. Interventions will occur primarily with Child and Family Health Nurses (CFHN) and other team members in the form of casework, group work and community education/activities with other government and non-government organisations.
The Level 3 Social Worker has a recognised clinical specialty within Women and Children's Health and works in an area that requires high levels of clinical expertise and knowledge in the specialty.
The Level 3 Social Worker can demonstrate advanced reasoning skills and operate autonomously with minimum direct clinical supervision.
The position involves working with families with complex issues and potential exposure to trauma.
