About the role
As an Administration Officer at Medicare Mental Health Kids, you'll play a core role supporting clinical staff in completing multidisciplinary assessments, case formulation, and collaborative treatment planning and delivery to children (0-12 years) experiencing mild to moderate mental health and well-being challenges. You'll take a child centred approach but will extend your scope to focus on the families and carers of our clients to contribute a truly wholistic health service in our community.
As the first point of contact for children and families using our service, we need your effective communication and problem-solving skills to welcome and direct clients to the service they need within our team.
You'll use the full range of your organisational and administrative skills to provide support to the staff in a newly formed community -based team, assisting with all aspects of day-to-day operations, and promoting the smooth functioning of the team.
You'll be supported in your work by an experienced multidisciplinary team, in a dynamic environment where you'll be supported to develop your skills further.
You'll have the benefit of working within an environment of flexible practice and adaptive service delivery with an experienced multidisciplinary team including allied health, nursing and medical staff, which will allow you to utilise the extended resources of a Hub based service, adding to the scope of the support you'll receive and be able to provide.
You'll work closely with a range of internal and external care providers and partner organisations across health, education, social services, Aboriginal health, and disability sectors to ensure continuity of care for our clients and build capacity for service delivery for children in our community, which will make full use of your communication and clerical skills.
At Medicare Mental Health Kids Hub you'll be providing high-quality clerical services, and will also contribute to shaping the future direction of a new and dynamic service, and building capacity within the Hub and in the community to enhance supports for children and families.
