As a Mental Health Support Worker, you will support individuals living with a chronic psychosocial disability. You will provide ongoing psychosocial, emotional, and practical support to help these individuals identify, work toward, and reach their goals.

WHY WORK AT CONSCIOUS CARE SUPPORT?
Conscious Care Support is not structured like other community mental health providers. Whilst we have over 50 employees and service close to 400 individuals each week in the community, everybody at Conscious Care Support provides support work.
Because we all provide mental health support work, we actually understand what it is like to be a Mental Health Support Worker. This fosters a supportive, enriching, and valuable team environment. Our ethos is: “everybody is in this together”.
At Conscious Care Support, we ensure that all of our mental health support workers are guaranteed consistent, ongoing hours, and an opportunity to autonomously shape and manage a caseload that works in accordance with your lifestyle.
We are looking for individuals with at least 3-4 days per week of capacity (weekdays).
