Use your passion for mental health and play a key role in supporting people people to achieve their recovery goals!

Flourish Australia has an exciting opportunity for a Peer Worker or Mental Health Worker to join our Penrith team!

The position available is:

Casual
Based in Penrith
Working days between Monday and Friday
Level 3 on the Flourish Australia Enterprise Agreement (2018) hourly rates equivalent to $40.49 - $43.42/hour + Super + Casual loading!

About the Opportunity

As a Peer Worker or Mental Health Worker, you will support people accessing our services who have a lived experience of mental health challenges to achieve their hopes and dreams. You will play an important part in assisting people to maintain wellness and realise their goals. On a day to day basis you will:

Effectively and appropriately hold recovery and social citizenship conversations with people who access our services in order to connect with them, support them and build reciprocity, via mutual understanding, trust and shared experience.
Effectively and appropriately guide and support each individual in their recovery and be strengths, ability and possibility focused, whilst ensuring they are the leads in their own recovery journey.
Effectively contribute to decreasing stigma and discrimination around having a lived experience of a mental health challenge.
Support the person to access activities and opportunities that promote independence.
Support skill development at every opportunity through self-directed learning, information, training, and education.

We value lived experience and believe peer support is a powerful part of the mental health recovery journey. Therefore, our Peer Worker roles are for those willing to use their personal lived experience of a mental health challenge and recovery. Your personal lived experience of mental health challenges, trauma, recovery and navigating services is recognised as a form of Lived Experience Expertise. You use this expertise intentionally, safely, and purposefully to build relationships grounded in mutuality, shared understanding, respect, and hope. Through authentic connection and values-aligned self-disclosure, you support people to explore their strengths, rights, choices, and self-defined recovery goals, always honouring their roles as the expert in their own life.

It is not a requirement for Mental Health Workers to use their lived experience of a mental health challenge in their everyday work.

To learn more about becoming a Peer Worker with Flourish Australia, we encourage you to review An Introduction to Peer Work at Flourish Australia, which provides a clear overview of the role. You can also deepen your understanding of our Peer Work model by exploring our Peer Workforce Framework.
