Joining the CaFHS team in Port Lincoln, you will provide families with information and support to access early childhood intervention services within their local area. You will also liaise with other agencies regarding early intervention coordination for children 0-8 years with, or at risk of, developmental delay/disability. Assessing immediate family needs and establishing appropriate referral pathways in collaboration with each family, you will encourage them to take an active role in decision making and action on behalf of their child. This will include assisting families to access and understand the contents of assessment and other reports regarding their child, and promoting the Early Childhood Intervention Consultant program to other agencies. Operating with a person and family centred care approach, you will work collaboratively with relevant agencies/committees in order to address gaps in service provision. The Women's & Children's Health Network offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic and challenging health environment, and make a difference to the health of children, youth, women and their families.
