Social Worker, Grade 2 - Community Rehabilitation

Help people regain independence, reconnect with what matters to them and live well in their community.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced and compassionate Grade 2 Social Worker to join our Community Rehabilitation team in a part-time, ongoing position, predominantly based at Kingston Centre in Heatherton.

Community rehabilitation is about more than supporting someone through an episode of care. It's about understanding the person behind the diagnosis - their home, family, relationships, responsibilities and the things that matter most to them - and helping them move forward with confidence and the right supports around them.

Working within an experienced interdisciplinary team, you'll provide short-term, goal-focused Social Work intervention to adults across a diverse range of clinical streams, including neurological, musculoskeletal, general, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.

Your work will include:

• Providing psychosocial assessment, intervention, case management and discharge planning
• Supporting clients and their families or carers to navigate change, adjustment and complex circumstances
• Working with clients where family violence may be suspected or disclosed
• Connecting people with community services, supports and funding pathways
• Collaborating closely with the broader interdisciplinary team to achieve meaningful client goals
• Liaising with hospital and community-based services to support continuity of care
• Providing clinical supervision to Grade 1 Social Workers and Allied Health Assistants, as allocated
• Supporting the learning and development of Social Work students
• Contributing your ideas and experience to service development, evidence-based practice and quality improvement

About Community Rehabilitation

Monash Health Community Rehabilitation helps people improve and maintain their health, independence and wellbeing following illness, injury or a change in their health. Our care is delivered where it works best for the client - at home, at one of our Community Rehabilitation centres or through tele-rehabilitation - and may include individual or group-based intervention.

Our approach is time-limited, goal-focused and tailored to the individual. We look beyond a person's diagnosis to understand what they want to get back to doing and what might be standing in their way. As a Social Worker, you'll bring an important perspective to that journey, helping clients and families navigate the social, emotional and practical impacts of changes to their health while connecting them with the supports they need to continue living well in their community.

About You

You're a Social Worker who enjoys variety, collaboration and seeing the real-world impact of your work. You'll bring:

• Experience providing high-quality, person-centred Social Work assessment and intervention
• Strong clinical reasoning and the ability to confidently manage a varied caseload
• An understanding of trauma-informed practice and working with vulnerable populations
• An awareness of the social, cultural, legal and systemic factors that can influence a person's health and wellbeing
• Strong organisation, prioritisation and time-management skills
• A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute as part of an interdisciplinary team
• The ability to reflect on your practice and continue developing your clinical skills
• A genuine commitment to helping people maintain independence and participate meaningfully in their lives and communities

Qualification & licence requirements are as per the Supportive Documentation on our careers site (reference 8867).

Why You'll Love Working With Us

In Community Rehabilitation, you have the opportunity to work alongside people as they rebuild confidence, independence and connection following changes to their health. You'll see the difference that good Social Work can make not just clinically, but in someone's everyday life. You'll also join a team where you can continue growing your own career, with:

• Support from an experienced Senior Clinician Social Worker and Team Leader, giving you the opportunity to continue developing your clinical practice while also building your skills in supervision, education and service improvement.
• A collaborative interdisciplinary environment where your Social Work perspective is valued
• Exposure to a broad and varied clinical caseload
• Opportunities to develop skills in clinical supervision and student education
• Professional development, mentoring and learning opportunities
• The opportunity to contribute to service improvement and evidence-based practice
• Salary packaging and access to employee wellbeing initiatives
• Fitness Passport and onsite gym options

If you're looking for a Social Work role where you can build your clinical expertise, enjoy genuine variety and help people get back to living the lives that matter to them, we'd love to hear from you.
