ABOUT THE IDENTIFIED CLINICAL YOUTH NAVIGATOR POSITION
Marymead in conjunction with ACT Health and the Office for Mental Health and Wellbeing developed Mindmap, an online portal providing children and young people with access to mental health support and resources. This unique model provides an integrated source of information and easy access points for children and young people experiencing mental health challenges.
The Clinical Youth Navigator is a part-time position and involves service delivery and direct clinical client contact (mostly via telehealth) in the Youth Navigation (Mindmap) program within the Mental Health and Wellbeing unit. The Clinical Youth Navigator will help service users navigate the Portal, provide warm referrals for local services, and provide clinical support through clinical active hold. In addition you will convey information and support to improve accessibility to Marymead services for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members.

This position is a part-time contract until June 2023 with the possibility of extension.
