• Join a not-for-profit health care provider who is getting back to what matters
• Work with some of the most vulnerable clients in the Latrobe Valley and have an impact on their health outcomes.

At Latrobe Community Health Service you’ll be part of a positive and passionate workplace. We’re dedicated to providing you with career opportunities through work that is rewarding and meaningful within the community.

The Paediatric and Youth Hub was formed in 2020 to allow all of the paediatric allied health and nursing services to be bought together to improve the outcomes for local children.  This has led to greater collaboration between health professionals.  Recent growth has included funding for the establishment of an autism spectrum disorder assessment clinic, funding to support children and families to access the NDIS and a community led integrated paediatric assessment clinic in partnership with Berry Street. 

In this role you will be working closely with the other care coordinators to ensure vulnerable children and families in the Latrobe Valley are provided with intensive short term care coordination services to link them into appropriate health and social services.  As a care coordinator you will be expected to build a child and families’ capacity to self- manage in the future.  As well as providing short term intensive care coordination you will also work with children and families to link them into the paediatric health services they require at LCHS.

If you want to work in an innovative, growing paediatric service, with opportunities to gain skills and knowledge in a variety of occupational therapy practice areas, this is the position for you.

To be successful, you will require;

• Tertiary qualification in Nursing or Allied Health Profession 
• A current Working with Children Check
