Access Care Network Australia – Tamworth NSW
Social Worker (clinical assessor)
The rate for this role is $49.47 per hour plus 11.5% superannuation, with generous salary packaging benefits of up to $15,899 per year, mileage reimbursement and travel opportunities. This is an ongoing employment opportunity – we want to commit to you when you commit to us.
We are looking for a great communicator, a client-focused professional ready to spend your days conducting assessments to identify the needs of an older person.
What is the role?
Here is a typical week:
* Picture yourself travelling to a client’s home, learning about how they live and supporting them through identifying strategies and supports to maintain their independence as they age. This is part of our Aged Care Assessment program (formerly known as ACAT or ACAS assessments).
* Your warm personality, existing skills and experiences, complemented by extensive training and support, enable you to convert your client interactions into meaningful support plans documented using digital tools as guided by ACNA’s Active Assessment method.
* There are other ways of connecting with clients - you could be working on clinical triage or support plan reviews over the phone.
* You love driving. The reality of our role in the community is that we spend a lot of time driving between clients.
* If you love diversity in your work, you can work in other programs in ACNA such as Residents’ Experience Surveys in aged care.
* You enjoy the sense of belonging and support that comes from being part of a team with a dedicated Team Leader.
* Help us to challenge the status quo and look for ways to make an even bigger impact.
