A Psych Informed Psychosocial Support Worker is there to assist clients with any psychosocial challenges they may be facing. Sessions may involve going for walks with your client, grabbing a bite to eat, participating in recreational activities or accompanying them to appointments. Having an understanding of mental health is highly beneficial if your clients decide to discuss their concerns with you. Helping your clients build on their confidence and overall independence by demonstrating empathy, patience, understanding and being an active listener are just some qualities we look for in our support workers.
-
Our clients live with a range of mental health disorders and/or developmental or learning disabilities. In turn, they are compromised in what they can do independently and require that little bit of extra support. Our clients range in ages from young children to the elderly.
-
As many as you feel comfortable! You will start with one client, however as you participate in more sessions and if you feel like you are happy to take on more clients, the choice is yours.
-
The length of sessions can be different depending on the level of support your clients require, as well as their individual needs and requests. The minimum requirement for any support session is two hours. Sessions can go for as long as the client feels necessary and you will be notified of their expected session times before you agree to work with them.
-
Once you have met your client and you are both happy to move forward with support, together you will arrange a recurring schedule. Most commonly, our clients meet with our support workers once a week. However, there are circumstances where sessions will occur fortnightly, monthly or as a 'one off', as well as up to several times per week.
-
You will need a degree in psychology or counselling OR a certificate in Mental Health with relevant work experience. Oh, and a strong desire to want to help others!

The team here at Psych Informed are available to you 24/7 for any kind of support you may need. Each member of our team has a degree in psychology, allowing us to support you the best way we can. Each role in management is specific and specialised which enables us to provide the most effective assistance relevant to your query or concern.
