What your day could look like
As a Social Worker, you'll play a meaningful role in supporting people through complex life situations, helping them navigate care with dignity and confidence. From delivering person-centred interventions to collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, your work will create positive outcomes across the community.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Providing holistic social work support that improves wellbeing for individuals and families across varied care settings
Partnering with healthcare professionals to guide care decisions and advocate for the best possible outcomes
Managing a diverse caseload while building trusted relationships with patients, carers and community groups
Contributing to service improvements, education, and initiatives that strengthen care delivery across the region
Let's talk about you!
You're a compassionate and capable professional who brings empathy, sound judgement and a collaborative mindset to your work. You build trust quickly, communicate with purpose, and stay grounded in ethical, person-centred practice. Whether supporting someone through a challenging time or working alongside a team to improve care, you take pride in making a real difference in people's lives. You're motivated by connection, growth, and the chance to contribute to healthier communities.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
A recognised Social Work qualification and eligibility for professional membership
Demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality, evidence-informed care within a team environment
Strong communication, advocacy and relationship-building skills
The ability to manage competing priorities and adapt in a dynamic healthcare setting
You'll stand out if you bring experience working in rural or regional communities and/or a passion for ongoing learning, research, or student supervision.
Above all, you'll bring the values we live by at Darling Downs Health: compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage.
In this role, your work will strengthen community wellbeing while shaping a more connected, responsive health service.
