At Mission Australia's Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) Plus service in Eastwood, NSW, we support people living with severe and persistent mental illness to build independence, strengthen daily living skills and achieve their personal recovery goals. Working within a recovery oriented and person-centred framework, you will provide practical, hands-on support that empowers residents to participate more fully in their community while maintaining stable accommodation and improved wellbeing. This is an on-site position within a residential setting where no two days are the same, requiring a balance of practical assistance, relationship building and support through complex mental health challenges.
As a Residential Recovery Worker, you will work alongside residents to develop confidence and capability in everyday life, taking a strengths-based approach that focuses on doing with people rather than for them. From supporting appointments and community engagement to assisting with cooking, cleaning, medication support and goal focused recovery planning, you will play a meaningful role in helping residents move towards greater independence and successful transitions into the community.
The service operates 24 hours a day, providing consistent support in a dynamic and rewarding environment, and you must be available for day and night shifts, including weekends.
Before starting work with us, you will need to undertake a national police history check, qualifications, and referee checks, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people.
