What you will be doing
There are three major paediatric hospitals in NSW - John Hunter Children's Hospital in Newcastle and the two Sydney based campuses at Randwick and Westmead which are known as the Sydney Children's Hospital Network (SCHN).
The majority of young people with a complex chronic disease move from these hospitals to a variety of adult hospitals and ambulatory care facilities throughout the state. As increasing numbers of young people with chronic illnesses arising in childhood survive into adult life, many difficulties are encountered during transition from paediatric services. In some cases there is a loss of continuity of care or a fragmentation of care, which reduces quality of life for the young person and their parents / carers.
The Transition Care Network (for young people with a chronic illness/disability) was established in 2004. A Network Manager, three Transition Care Coordinators (TCCs) plus 3 part time support positions were appointed.
The primary purpose of the Transition Support Worker role is to provide support for the Transition Care Coordinator (TCC) to help young people with chronic illness/disability transitioning from paediatric to adult health services throughout NSW and to improve process across the health system.
