As a Clinical Assessor you will travel extensively across your region to conduct assessments in various residential facilities. This is a brand new role helping to implement and trial a new funding tool on behalf of the department of health. These assessments will have a focus on identifying the attributes of residents that drive the cost of care, as opposed to the clinical assessments contributing to care plans performed by residential care staff.
While your clinical experience in aged care will contribute to your understanding of the assessments, of equal importance will be your confidence to represent yourself as an external clinical assessor with the internal residential care staff. You will also bring your skills to assess the complex relationship between cognition, behaviour and function in older people.
This role will also see you fully trained in performing community based Regional Assessment Service (RAS) assessments after the 6 month trial ends. These assessments are community based in client’s homes. You will work with the client to conduct a holistic assessment, put together a support plan and link them to services and supports in the local area.
This is a full time position on an initial 12 month contract. Candidates will need to reside in or near to Toowoomba.
