Registered Nurse, Prevention and Recovery Centre (PARC) Bondi – SESLHD MHS

What you'll be doing

The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.

PARC (Prevention And Recovery Centre) is a partnership between South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) Mental Health Service and Independent Community Living Australia (ICLA).

The Registered Nurse will work alongside Peer Support Workers in a community based setting, which is an 8-bedroom residential home located at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. The role will support consumers with a short term mix of clinical and psychosocial support, with a strong focus on recovery, strengths and community connections.

Under the leadership and guidance of the PARC Clinical Nurse Consultant, the role will facilitate early intervention strategies to provide more intensive and collaborative community support to avoid hospital admissions (step up), as well as providing residential support services following discharge from hospital (step down) under a least restrictive care and supportive environment arrangement.
