Description
Looking to join a passionate, diverse team specialising in providing early intervention and wrap-around support for young people experiencing severe and complex mental health challenges? Then look no further!
About us
headspace Early Psychosis (hEP) offers early intervention services to young people aged 12 to 25 who are, or are at risk of, experiencing psychosis. Our multi-disciplinary team works with young people and their families to achieve functional recovery goals.
The Mobile Assessment and Treatment Team (MATT) is the first point of contact for hEP, handling referrals and providing mental health assessments, including collaborative formulations, to young people and their families.
MATT also offers after-hours support to current hEP clients. Clinicians work on a rotating roster, covering seven days and outside office hours. MATT operates 364 days a year, excluding Christmas Day.
About the Role
Day-to-day work in MATT is varied, offering opportunities for comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, clinical formulation development, and planning recommendations in multiple areas such as functional, medical, psychological, and social domains. Clinicians work closely with the case management team to support smooth transitions for young people entering the program. From time to time, this role may also support other areas of the service to help manage demand.
Your duties and key responsibilities in the role will include:
* Triaging new referrals and reviewing of collateral information to determine most appropriate next steps.
* Providing comprehensive mental health assessments, including mental state examinations, risk assessments, case formulations and individual treatment planning to promote recovery.
* Conducting community and home-based appointments, and assertive outreach within the Gold Coast and Brisbane South catchment areas, using fleet cars.
* Liaising with internal and external services for seamless transitions for young people at risk of or experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
* Participating in clinical review meetings and presentations for multi-disciplinary team discussion and treatment planning.
* Engaging in family meetings, including psychoeducation, debriefing, and support.
* Providing Case Management when needed.
* Respond to crisis phone calls and situations when necessary.
The salary for this position will be commensurate with the successful applicant's qualifications, skills and experience and will range between gross $88,109.84 to $94,828.24 per annum, plus superannuation and salary packaging benefits.
