• Team Leader - Personal Helpers & Mentors Program

  The Personal Helpers & Mentors Program assists people whose ability to manage their daily activities and live independently in the community is severely impacted by their mental illness. Participants are supported through a recovery-focused, strength-based approach that recognizes recovery as a personal journey driven by the participant. As Team Leader I ensure appropriate allocation of participants to case workers. I monitor activities and provide leadership to ensure staff are actively working with participants to formulate and review their individual recovery plans as well as maintaining accurate records and reports in accordance with requirements from our funding body and our organisation. I provide strength-based supervision on a regular basis promoting ethical and non-discriminatory behaviours and practices which incorporate respect, dignity confidentiality and a duty of care. I initiate, oversee and review liaisons with community groups and other agencies. Show less
