The Sleeping Rough – Harm Minimisation Project Worker (SRHMP) will co-ordinate the co-design process of the Rough Sleeping – Harm Minimisation Project.

This will include the individual induction of participants, clarification of group purpose, and development of individual safety plans

Your daily duties will be varied however, in essence will include:

  • Ensuring the project consultation and design process is developed utilising cohealth’s approach to codesign: empathy – understanding the reason for a codesign approach and the stories of those involved in the process; dream – what are all of the possible solutions/outcomes that could arise from a certain project or problem?; do – redefining the process and finalising key messages, trying things out, making the project happen; learn – reflect on what worked and what didn’t, and how that can be improved; celebrate – appreciating the efforts of diverse individuals working together for a common purpose.
  • Providing leadership and support to staff to understand our service model from a consumer perspective;
  • Engaging in community education and service development activities that promote the project including network and sector meetings; and
  • Working with teams and other stakeholders to develop a plan to engage consumers in the co design process.

  • Holds a tertiary qualification in a relevant sector and/or commensurate experience in a related area;
  • Proven capacities to work effectively with people who have lived experience of homelessness and a sound understanding of the key issues affecting people of the homeless community;
