For families with infants who have a newly diagnosed hearing loss
The Royal Children’s Hospital, the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital and the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development are collaborating on a pilot programme focussing on providing timely provision of support services to families of children referred from the Victorian Infant Hearing Screening Program, through to when families are engaged with an early intervention service. A team of facilitators is now being established to provide support for such families across metropolitan Melbourne and some regional areas.
Two facilitators: one Full Time (funded by the Royal Children’s Hospital) and one Part Time (funded by the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital), are being sought to join the initial team. The positions are currently funded for 12 months.
Both positions will be based at The Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital in East Melbourne. Travel to agencies and families will be required in these roles in metropolitan and regional areas in Victoria.
The successful applicants will hold a current registration as a Social Worker or Psychologist, or a Bachelor or Master level qualification relevant to the responsibilities of the position, such as in the disciplines of Early Childhood Development, Teacher or Allied Health professional.
Experience providing counselling and support using a family-centred framework is expected, along with excellent organisational and communication skills. Previous experience in the field of hearing impairment is highly desirable, although not essential.
