Social Worker Level 3 – Community Senior Clinician (End of Life)
If you are an experienced Social Worker with expertise in End of Life, CCLHD offers an excellent opportunity to undertake meaningful and rewarding work while making a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of people living on the Central Coast.
About The Opportunity
The Senior Social Worker is a key member of a community-based multidisciplinary allied health team delivering person‐centred services across the Central Coast. Community Allied Health supports clients and their families across a range of community settings, with this role providing specialist End of Life social work services within a dedicated interdisciplinary team environment.
This senior clinical role has significant responsibilities in the delivery, coordination, and monitoring of social work services for referred clients and their carers. The primary clinical focus includes comprehensive psychosocial assessment, counselling, case planning, advocacy, liaison, and referral to assist individuals and families in managing the emotional, social, and practical impacts associated with progressive illness, end‐of‐life care, loss, and bereavement. The role requires close collaboration with interdisciplinary colleagues and senior managers to ensure the provision of responsive, evidence‐based, and proactive social work services.
In addition to clinical responsibilities, the Senior Social Worker contributes to service development, quality improvement initiatives, program evaluation, and the education and support of staff and students. Working alongside other senior social work staff, the role is responsible for the supervision, mentoring, training, and performance management of Level 1 and Level 2 Social Workers, as well as other staff as directed by the Director of Social Work. The position also supports the ongoing enhancement and effective delivery of social work services within the team.
Services are provided across a variety of community settings, including clients' homes, outpatient clinics, and group programmes. The role requires regular travel throughout the Central Coast region.
