Wellways Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) services are 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.
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.
PARCs operate 24/7 on a rotating roster. Flexibility in availability and willingness to work sleepover, afternoon and weekend shifts is essential for this position. Penalty rates apply for relevant hours.
Wellways are committed to our mission of creating inclusive communities where everyone can imagine and achieve their hopes and potential; and we are always on the look-out for like-minded people who would like to be a part of this.
All our staff are truly valued, and we offer these amazing benefits to support you: www.wellways.org/careers-wellways
