About the Role
About Nundah House
Nundah House is an alternative to admission facility offering a Step Up and Step Down Model of Care. Peer Support Workers are integral members of the team and draw on their lived experience of recovery from mental illness, to instil confidence and hope in others about the journey of recovery.
Nundah House is a ten bed sub-acute facility that provides an option for people who are becoming unwell or are still recovering from an acute illness and need a short period of additional support and consolidation to complement their treatment and support. Nundah House is operated by Neami in partnership with the Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS) and aims to prevent avoidable inpatient admissions. During their stay consumers are assisted to develop a wellness plan including relapse prevention. The staff team at Nundah House will consist of a Manager, 2x Senior Practice Leaders and a number of Community Rehabilitation and Support Workers (CRSWs) and Peer Support Workers (PSWs) and is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The Nundah House Service operates on a 7 day rotating roster of morning, afternoon and overnight shifts.
