General Practice Social Worker – Beaudesert

Date posted: June 2025

We are currently recruiting for a full-time Social Worker to be based in Beaudesert for a 12 month contract. This role is best suited to an experienced professional with a strong background in complex systems and multidisciplinary teams. It is not suitable for new graduates or those with limited experience.

The project requires a generalist social worker. While accreditation as a mental health social worker is welcome, a singular focus on mental health counselling falls outside the scope of this role.

This position is part of a pilot project embedding social workers into general practice. Three demonstration models are being trialled, each co-designed with participating stakeholders to meet the needs of specific population cohorts.

Project objectives include:

Increasing understanding among GPs and practice staff of the social work scope of practice and referral pathways.
Identifying barriers and enablers to embedding social workers in general practice teams.
Gaining insight into financial models that can support social work roles in general practice settings.

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to:

Person-centred care:

Deliver person-centred care that improves health outcomes by helping the practice team understand and respond to the broader biopsychosocial needs of patients, and by connecting patients to relevant local support services.

Team-based care:

Work as a valued member of the interdisciplinary general practice team, complementing the scope of other professionals.

Health outcomes:

Address psychosocial issues and social determinants of health that impact patient outcomes, helping patients access existing supports and work toward short-term goals when service gaps exist.

Social health model:

Navigate the challenges of general practice settings and effectively embed your role to deliver care aligned with a social health model.

System navigation and care coordination:

Coordinate care for high-risk, high-need populations, including leading case conferences involving GPs and nursing staff, in line with MBS requirements.

Use of MBS items:

Quickly understand and apply relevant MBS items that support interprofessional care involving both social workers and GPs.

If you believe you are a good fit for this role and are available to work in the Beaudesert region, please email your CV to amiles@bsphn.org.au
