ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Social Worker to join our Renal team at SWSLHD.
This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a senior role where you’ll make a real difference in the lives of patients and their families navigating the challenges of renal care.
In this role, you’ll provide high-level psychosocial support, including assessments, counselling, and advocacy, all within a person-centred framework. You’ll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure care is coordinated, culturally respectful, and tailored to each individual’s needs. Your clinical expertise will guide complex decision-making, and your leadership will help shape service delivery through quality improvement projects, research, and mentoring of junior staff and students.
We’re looking for someone who brings both heart and skill to their work—someone with deep knowledge of the psychosocial impacts of dialysis and transplantation, and the ability to support patients with empathy, resilience, and professionalism. You’ll need strong communication skills, a commitment to ethical practice, and the ability to manage documentation and performance targets with confidence.
At SWSLHD, we value collaboration, compassion, and continuous learning. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and contribute to a team that’s dedicated to transforming the patient experience, we’d love to hear from you.
