About the role
This position will form a part of the multidisciplinary Integrated Care (IC) team to provide culturally appropriate comprehensive assessment, clinical intervention, and care coordination. Integrated Care is a growing and exciting area to work, serving as an important conduit between primary care and hospital specialty services.
The service supports hospital avoidance, supported discharge and hospital substitution models (such as Hospital in the Home). The role will promote and advocate a ‘home first’ approach, where multidisciplinary assessment and intervention will be delivered outside the acute hospital setting. The Social Worker will be required to work across CALHN sites and within Integrated Care, as required and in line with clinical need.
The role will involve assessment and developing targeted interventions, which may include service coordination and interim management of clients with complex health needs who are experiencing gaps in health responses, with a view to connection into longer term community-based services.
This position will play a key role in our Integrated Care clinics, providing social work and generalised allied health input to patients who are on the trajectory to ED but whose needs cannot be managed in the community and/or those who require community-based continuity of care for hospital discharges.
Allied health is a key component of our 7-day service model; regular weekend work may be required.
Integrated Care is committed to embedding virtual care / telehealth alongside traditional methods of consultation (face to face or phone).
Qualifications
A degree level qualification in the social work discipline giving eligibility with membership with relevant regulating agency and to a standard accepted by the Chief Executive.
