The SIL Haven residences are staffed 7 days a week on a 24/7 rotating roster and designed like a ‘home away from home’ funded through client’s NDIS packages with practice guided by Mind’s Model of Recovery Oriented Practice, SIL model and Dual Disability framework. The service works collaboratively with clients providing personalised 1:1 support, shared supports and group activities based on strengths and goals identified in an individual’s recovery plan to build daily living skills, strengthen relationships with families and carers, enhance social connections and community networks, and grow confidence and capacity to live safely in the community.

The role will provide leadership and coach a dedicated team to deliver high-quality recovery-oriented services to clients, families and carers in line with Mind’s Model of Recovery Oriented Practice, My Better Life model and organisational values.
