Who We Are and What We Stand For
Peninsula Health is the major metropolitan health service caring for a community of 300,000 people. Our Vision is to provide exceptional health and community care. To realise this vision we need people who strive for a sense of achievement, take an interest in their individual growth, enjoy innovation and looking for ways to improve and have a passion for communicating and connecting with others.
In representing Peninsula Health, we expect all employees and volunteers to reflect our values: Be the Best, Be a Role Model, Be Open and Honest, Be Compassionate and Respectful and Be Collaborative. We are One Peninsula Health.
What You Will Be Doing
The Mt. Eliza Assessment Service is seeking to employ an enthusiastic and motivated Comprehensive Assessor to complement the existing multi-disciplinary team. Practicing within the framework of My Aged Care and within Peninsula Health organisational requirements, the Comprehensive Assessor will provide a comprehensive and independent assessment of the aged client (and some younger adults when appropriate), and with the client develop care plans that promote the restoration of function and/or maximise independence. The Comprehensive Assessor will also review support plans and facilitate referrals or provide service coordination for older people to engage the range of community or hospital based services in order to meet their specific needs.
Key Responsibilities
The Mt. Eliza Aged Care Assessment Service is delivered across the boundaries of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, City of Casey and Cardinia, therefore driving significant distances is a requirement for the position. The successful candidate will possess proven clinical assessment skills and excellent and functional computer literacy; using a laptop or other electronic device in the community environment is an essential requirement of the position. Together with a commitment to delivering a first class service to the aged client group, Comprehensive Assessors are required to develop and maintain essential working relationships with community providers and associated stakeholders.
The position is available on a Fixed Term Part Time basis: previous ACAS experience is therefore highly desirable. The successful candidate will hold formal qualifications in either Allied Health or Nursing at a minimum of graduate level.
What You Need
• Drivers License
• Computer literacy and excellent typing skills
• Commitment to delivering a first class service to the aged client group
• Excellent Clinical assessment skills
• Ability to work autonomously and as an effective member of the Tam
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
