ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is a Casual position within the Family Healthcare Support Team.
You will be responsible for providing care to children with complex medical needs in their home environment or other appropriate settings. The provision of this support allows parents of children who require frequent medical interventions or have the potential for deterioration to take time out.
Whether you have previous experience as a support worker or are ready for a new challenge, we will support you through our in-house training program to enable the delivery of safe healthcare interventions. Support is delivered independently, with care often provided in the absence of parents in line with the child’s specific care plan.

Are you looking to make a difference, gain a sense of achievement or to start your career in healthcare? If so, this role will introduce you to a world of opportunities including:

• Completion of the RCH Healthcare Support Worker training program
• Knowledge and expertise on providing medical care interventions for children with complex healthcare needs within the scope of the support worker training
• Play a crucial role in improving the quality of life and promoting independence for the children and families you support.
• Regular support shifts with the ability to increase hours when shifts become available
• Becoming part of a World class leading healthcare organisation and contribute to the RCH Vision of “a world where all kids thrive”
