Care Coordination and Counselling Roles, Hunter Region

We’re here to help LGBTQ people and people with HIV take control of their health by providing a range of direct client services. ACON is looking for committed and inspiring social workers, psychologists or occupational therapists to join our client services team in Newcastle.

A rare opportunity has arisen for one or more allied health professionals to join our Client Services Team in Newcastle to deliver care coordination and/or counselling services, referrals and advocacy. Full time or part time appointments will be considered and there is some flexibility to negotiate the specific deliverables with the right applicants.

We have a diverse clientele presenting with a range of health needs relating to HIV, gender, sexuality, mental health and substance support, as well as ageing, domestic and family violence and housing. ACON’s client services staff operate in the context of a multi-disciplinary team working within a chronic disease self-management model.

The Care Coordination responsibilities will comprise short-term care and support strategies including psychosocial assessment, care coordination, advocacy and empowerment. Longer term care coordination and case management will be required for a small number of complex clients living with or impacted by HIV.

The Counselling responsibilities include psychosocial assessment and short-term, solution-focused interventions to improve the mental and physical health and wellbeing of our clients.

These are varied and challenging roles. The successful applicant(s) will need to be proactive and resourceful and committed to developing their skills and knowledge in HIV, sexual health and gender diversity. Applicants must be comfortable working in an LGBTQ community organisation.

As an employer, ACON offers a professional, rewarding workplace and the opportunity to deliver work that empowers our communities. ACON is committed to providing staff with opportunities for professional development and growth, a safe and flexible work environment, and the scope to deliver innovative, community-targeted health services.

For further information on the role(s), or a confidential discussion, call Lisa McFayden, Regional Manager, Hunter on 02 4962 7700.

All applications must include a completed application form, a document that addresses each of the Selection Criteria and a copy of your resume.

While there is no fixed closing date for this position, we encourage you to apply as early as possible.
