About the program
PARC is a step up, step down short-stay residence that provides clinical and psychosocial support to participants, to prevent the need for hospitalisation or after an inpatient stay to support ongoing recovery. All our recovery services value cultural diversity, support and create opportunities for recovery, value peer participation, and leadership and are underpinned by evidence-based best practice.
PARC programs are collaborative services between Wellway's and Latrobe Regional Hospital through its division Bairnsdale Regional Health service (BRHS). Our multidisciplinary recovery teams are creative, motivated and focused on ensuring positive experiences for participants and their loved ones.
About the Opportunity
Community Recovery Workers are integral to the PARC program as they work closely with participants in their recovery journey whilst at PARC, both individually and with their clinical care teams, and in leading a range of groups and activities onsite. Our Recovery Workers also provide key operational support and help create new innovations and improvements for the ongoing quality of the program.
Flexibility in availability and willingness to work sleepover, afternoon and weekend shifts is highly regarded. Penalty rates apply for relevant hours. PARCs operate 24/7 on a rotating roster.
