Social Workers are valued members of multi-disciplinary teams, providing comprehensive services to community members of all ages. Bayside Health Peninsula provides a number of opportunities for Social Work graduates across the health service.
About the program
The Social Work Department’s Grade 1 Social Work program offers seven rotations across acute and subacute inpatient settings across all four Bayside Health Peninsula inpatient sites. These roles are permanent; each rotation is six months duration and Grade 1’s are invited to identify their preferred rotations to match their learning goals.
Specialties within the rotations include gerontological social work, general medical, cardiology, surgical, rehabilitation & palliative care and geriatric evaluation. These rotations are supported by a seminar series, supporting you to learn in a group environment and make connections between theory and practice.
Graduate positions are also offered in the Bayside Health Peninsula Mental Health Service. The program is 12 months in duration with rotations across inpatient and residential mental health settings. Graduates are supported by a dedicated Social Work educator and have protected time to support accelerated learning.
Successful completion of this graduate program will be accompanied by opportunities to transition into permanent positions within Bayside Health Peninsula. Intake occurs in March for the three graduate positions available.
All Social Workers receive clinical supervision and additionally are supported via escalation processes that promote the development of clinical skills and sound decision making.
