**Your Opportunity**:
Reporting to the Manager within the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program, the Outreach Worker is a member of a multi-disciplinary outreach team. The team is comprised of nursing, social work, occupational therapy, recreation therapy, outreach workers, psychiatry and general medicine. The team functions together to provide treatment, rehabilitation and support services and case management functions for our clients with a severe and persistent mental illness. Team members collaborate with the client, family and other programs and agencies to provide quality, client-driven, culturally appropriate and integrated services. Each member works independently following a case management model but there is also shared responsibilities amongst the team for duties such as running recreation programs, client injections, medication observation and coverage for other team members as needed. The Outreach Worker's role is to support the clinicians on the team with their caseload. Tasks include supporting a client with their ADL's (activities of daily living) and IADL's (instrumental activities of daily living), medication observation, driving clients to appointments and organizing/participating in recreation activities.

**Description**:
As an Outreach Worker, you will work as a member of a multidisciplinary team, supporting clients to stabilize in their current environments as an extension of their clinical care service. As an Outreach Worker, you will conduct outreach assessments, determine outreach service goals and develop outreach treatment plans in collaboration with clients and clinicians. You will facilitate client connections with community and government supports and advocate for clients with these external service providers. You will focus on establishing housing, financial, food and clothing, transportation and social supports for clients. You will be responsible for providing education and coaching support related to daily living skills and activities (attending appointments, money management, searching for jobs, grocery shopping, etc.), observing and reporting changes in the clients' behaviours, participation and ability to function independently to the interdisciplinary team. You will evaluate client progress and functioning and make adjustments to the outreach treatment plan as required. As a part of your role as an Outreach Worker, you may be required to provide outreach crisis stabilization support for clients, exercising various de-escalation techniques and linking clients with the appropriate supports (EMS, Police and Crisis Team, etc.). You also may be required to enter clients' residences and assist clients to transfer in and out of vehicles, care facilities and residences.
