In October 2022, Accoras was also honoured to receive the Earle Duus Award in the 2022 QLD Mental Health Awards, recognising the contributions our team makes to people living with mental illness.
The Role
As the Youth Clinical Case Manager, you will provide time limited, evidence-based interventions and support to young people with moderate to severe mental health challenges that are impacted by ongoing life stressors. Our Youth Clinical Case Managers provide a range of supports including assessments, evidence-based clinical interventions and intensive case management to address various presentations and multiple, complex or varying needs.
Alongside providing one-on-one therapeutic interventions, you will use a case management approach to holistically support young people. You will work within a shared-care model alongside other multidisciplinary team members, providing support and intervention to improve wellbeing, family functioning and life outcomes for young people.
This is a full-time, fixed term contract, with contract extensions aligned to funding renewals. Working from our headspace office located in Inala, your work-related travel for community events within the Inala/Brisbane South region will be reimbursed.
