About This Opportunity
The Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) and Enhanced Adult Community Living Supports (CLS) programs are NSW government funded initiatives that deliver specialist community-based psychosocial support services for people aged 16 years and older, with serious mental illness.
Rehabilitation and Recovery Workers walk alongside participants, supporting them to identify their hopes, aspirations, and goals, and work together to develop recovery plans that help participants achieve their goals.
Rehabilitation and Recovery Workers provide direct, practical support to help participants regain, maintain, and improve skills, including self-management skills, while also supporting participants to identify and nurture natural supports that sustain recovery. Essential to this is working not just with individuals but also with families and communities.
