ABOUT THE ROLE
New service. New team. New approach.
You’re invited to take a lead role.
The Head to Health Kids Hub is a new community based service providing mental health and wellbeing support for children up to the age of 12 years with mild to moderate emotional, behavioural and mental health challenges, and their family. This new service is part of a nation-wide roll out of Kids Hubs jointly funded by NSW Health and the Australian Government.
Located in Orange with satellite services in Bathurst, we’ll be using flexible and creative approaches to increase the well-being and functioning of our clients, guided by a new model of care within a multidisciplinary framework.
As an Aboriginal Mental Health Care Navigator at the Head to Health Kids Hub, you’ll play a core role in initiating the delivery of high-quality clinical services.
As the first point of contact with our clients you’ll use your assessment and flexible problem-solving skills to the fore, to determine the needs of our clients, and shape our response to it. You’ll be pivotal in engaging and supporting children and families within the Head to Health Kids Hub and guiding their support with other service providers across health, education, social services, Aboriginal health, and disability sectors. You’ll help to ensure continuity of care for our clients and increase access to support options, which will make full use of your communication and advocacy skills.
You’ll take a child centred approach but will extend your scope to focus on the families and carers of our clients to contribute a truly wholistic health service in our community.
You’ll use your clinical and cultural expertise to coordinate services to prioritise the delivery of support to Aboriginal children and families and carers with mental health and well-being challenges, and to establish connections within the local community to achieve this goal.
This is a temporarily funded position until 30 June 2026 with the possibility of extension subject to funding.
