Women’s Recovery Network
WREN is a 35 bed women’s mental health service. This is an innovative response to the Royal Commissions recommendation on private/ public partnerships and the need for gender and sexual safe units. In partnership Alfred Care Group, Ramsay Health and Goulburn Valley Health will provide a state-wide, specialist comprehensive trauma informed, wellness focused service for women, or those who identify as women, who present with mental health conditions. This service will assess, treat and support women over 18 years of age presenting with complex mental health conditions in a relational context, including presentation during the perinatal period and for women presenting with eating disorders.
This service will include a combination of inpatient and bed substitution beds. This includes 5 perinatal beds, 5 eating disorder beds, 14 General Women’s Mental Health beds within the Albert Road Clinic (ARC) Hub and up to 2 beds in Shepparton Private Hospital in the Shepparton Spoke.
The Role
This is a permanent, part-time position, with an expectation of some coverage of extended hours and weekend work, and is based at the Ramsay Clinic Albert Rd (RCAR).
As an integral and highly valued member of the multi-disciplinary team, the Consumer Peer Worker will provide formalised peer support and practical assistance to service users, to support them through their own unique recovery process. Within a relationship of mutuality and information sharing, they will promote choice, self-determination, hope and opportunities to seek or maintain socially valued roles and connections in their local communities.
This role will work primarily from the Lilac Pod but will work across the whole unit including the Hospital in the Home Team.
In this role, you can offer a unique perspective on recovery that requires a different approach than mainstream clinical mental health service delivery.
