• Coordinate a range of clinical and home-based supports tailored to each client’s needs

• Advocate for clients and make referrals to additional services as needed.
• Participate in case conferences, discharge planning and family meetings.
• Maintain accurate electronic client records.
• Contribute to continuous quality improvement activities within HIP and NRCH.
• Participate actively in team meetings, training and organisational initiatives

Please note: This role can be offered to either a registered nurse or an allied health clinician.
