Social Worker Senior Child Protection

South West Hospital and Health Service has an exciting opportunity for a Social Worker Senior Child Protection to join the Primary and Community Care Team at Charleville.

Join us in building better health in the bush!

Your opportunity

The Social Worker Senior Child Protection in the Charleville Primary and Community Care (PCC) team is responsible for:

• Provision of specialist Social Work Child protection practice and interventions, including consultation and liaison, reporting, safety planning and supporting ongoing management of children and young people where there are child protection concerns or identified risks.
• Participate as an effective member as the senior Social Work Child Protection within a multi-disciplinary team, to provide high level social work knowledge within a collaborative care framework in staff education, case management and treatment planning relevant to child protection.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Escape the city crowds and discover the red dirt wonderland where the skies are as big as the characters you will meet. Charleville is the largest town in South West Queensland, situated on the banks of the Warrego River in the heart of Mulga Country. Charleville is a reminder that the good things in life shouldn't be hurried, it's a chance to embrace the simple things in life and a celebration of community spirit with the annual Charleville Cup Races the highlight of summer.
