Social Worker

About us:

People, connection and positive change — that's what Allied Health is all about.

Our Allied Health teams work alongside medical, nursing and operational teams, as well as community partners, to help people recover, stay well and get the support they need.

Our Social Workers look beyond the diagnosis, recognising the impact that life, relationships, culture, finances and other circumstances can have on health and wellbeing. Through practical support, advocacy and specialised interventions, we help people navigate challenges, strengthen their wellbeing and connect with the right services.

• Make a real difference. Deliver evidence-based social work that helps patients and families navigate the social, emotional and practical challenges impacting their wellbeing.
• Grow your clinical confidence. Build your experience, develop your clinical judgement and take on increasingly complex situations with the right support and supervision.
• Share, support and collaborate. Work alongside a multidisciplinary team, provide psychosocial advice and help mentor students and less experienced social workers.
• Help make care better. Get involved in education, professional development, quality improvement and shaping the practices and processes of the Social Work service.
