ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT USING YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT OTHERS?

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

All NSW Health workers are required to comply with the Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination Against Specified Infectious Diseases Policy Directive (PD2024_015). This includes:

Category B positions: Vaccination is recommended but not mandatory.
Applicants must provide appropriate evidence of compliance prior to commencement. For detailed information, please refer to the NSW Health Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination Policy.
NSW Health strongly recommends all workers stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations as per the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation guidelines. However, COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

• Draw on your lived experience of suicide crisis or mental health challenges, together with the strength gained through your recovery journey, to provide non judgmental, recovery oriented support to people in distress.
• Provide calm, compassionate support in times of crisis, helping people feel safe, respected, and supported while navigating moments of distress or uncertainty.
• Collaborate within a compassionate, award winning team that is dynamic, supportive, and deeply values kindness, empathy, and peer-led perspectives.
• Continue to learn and grow through regular peer-specific supervision, ongoing training, and professional development, while contributing to Safe Haven’s strong reputation as a trusted place of safety and hope in the community.
