Opportunity
An exciting opportunity exists to join the established Disability Resource Team within South Western Sydney Local Health District as a Disability Resource Coach (Disability Navigator). In this role, you will make a meaningful difference by improving the care experiences of people with disability, their families and informal supports across SWSLHD facilities and services. You will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders to identify and address disability‐related needs, establish reasonable adjustments and support safe, coordinated discharge planning.

You bring the ability to work collaboratively with clinical teams and external partners, providing guidance, leadership and practical advice to support the diverse needs of people with disability presenting to hospital settings. You are confident navigating systems of care, contributing to coordinated transfer of care, and building strong networks across SWSLHD and community services. You are organised and accountable, able to meet the duties and reporting requirements of the role while contributing to service improvement initiatives that enhance care experiences for people with disability and their carers. This position is offered at 0.4 FTE, up to 16 hours per week, and is primarily based at Bankstown Hospital.
