Social Worker, Grade 4 - Casey Adult Crisis Intervention Service (ACIS)/CATT

About the Role

Join the Casey Adult Crisis Intervention Service (ACIS) as a Grade 4 Mental Health Social Worker and play a key role in delivering timely, recovery-oriented care to consumers experiencing an acute mental health crisis. This is a full time, ongoing position based at Casey Hospital.

Working across the community, clinic and via telehealth, you will undertake comprehensive mental health, psychosocial and risk assessments, provide crisis intervention, and develop collaborative treatment and safety plans. You will work closely with consumers, families, carers and a broad multidisciplinary network to support people to remain safely in the community wherever possible.

This is a senior clinical role where you will apply your expertise in mental health legislation, risk assessment and crisis management while partnering with inpatient units, emergency departments and community agencies to ensure seamless care and positive consumer outcomes. The position operates across a seven-day rotating roster including AM and PM shifts.

About the Team

The Casey Adult Crisis Intervention Service (ACIS) forms part of the Casey Area Mental Health Service, supporting one of Melbourne's fastest-growing communities. We provide intensive, short-term assessment and treatment for adults experiencing an acute mental health crisis, delivering care in consumers' homes, within our clinic and via telehealth.

Our team is committed to recovery-oriented, person-centred care and works collaboratively with consumers, carers, families and a wide network of health and community partners. Supported by experienced and approachable leaders, you'll join a highly skilled multidisciplinary team that values clinical excellence, innovation and continuous learning.

About You

You are an experienced Mental Health Social Worker with a passion for delivering high-quality, recovery-focused care in fast-paced environments. Confident working with complexity, you bring advanced assessment, crisis intervention and risk management skills, along with a sound understanding of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act and contemporary mental health practice.

You are a collaborative clinician who builds strong relationships with consumers, families, carers and multidisciplinary teams, and you thrive in a role where no two days are the same. Your excellent communication skills, sound clinical judgement and commitment to person-centred care enable you to confidently navigate complex presentations while supporting safe and effective outcomes.
