Family Carer Peer Worker Lived Experience Workforce

Mental Health and Wellbeing Service Eastern Health | 0.5 EFT- 38 hours fortnight | Level 2 (AK39-42)
Based in Box Hill and Burwood | Close to public transport
Culture of learning and improvement | Partner in care at a leading health service

Are you a carer of a family member who has used acute public mental health services?

Are you passionate about carers and families having a voice and receiving the best possible supports?

An exciting opportunity now exists for a Family Carer Peer Worker to take up a role within Eastern Health’s Mental Health and Wellbeing service acute Inpatient Units across Box Hill Upton House and Peter James Centre South Ward in Burwood.

Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services and have a proud history of serving a diverse community.

Our Employee Value Proposition is “Being a part of Eastern Health means belonging to a welcoming team of healthcare experts”.

This statement aligns with our promise to our communities, patients, consumers and staff that we will be HEALTHIER TOGETHER. Bolder than a vision for the future, our promise calls us to action. We know that working together is the only way we can achieve what is necessary for a healthier future.

About the role

Our Lived Experience Workforce (LEW) is a non-clinical team that operates across various clinical settings, including Crisis Assessment Treatment Teams, Acute Inpatient Units, Emergency Departments, Community Teams, and Rehabilitation Services within our Mental Health & Wellbeing Program.

The Family Carer Peer Support Worker brings a complementary lived experience perspective to clinical care. Through structured peer support, the role supports families, carers, and supporters to navigate their individual caring journeys. The position empowers families, carers, and supporters to make informed choices, foster hope, and connect with meaningful roles, relationships, and community supports.

The Family Carer Peer Support Worker works collaboratively with multidisciplinary staff and management to ensure the best possible outcomes for carers and families. The role also requires the ability to work independently and demonstrate autonomous practice within agreed frameworks.

About you

Lived experience as a family member or carer of a person who has been a consumer of public acute mental health services

Desirable but not essential to have Lived experience as a carer of a person connected with Older Adult Mental Health services.

Demonstrated ability to work systemically with internal and external services and staff to benefit carers and families.

A strong commitment to high quality care

The ability to work as part of a diverse team

Excellent communication and organisational skills

Comprehensive orientation and induction program.

Up to 2 hours of reflective supervision per month, plus group co-reflection spaces.
