The Opportunity

Are you passionate about giving children the best possible start in life through early intervention and integrated community care?

We are seeking a proactive, autonomous Care Coordinator to play a pivotal role in delivering the Healthy Beginnings Pilot, an innovative, integrated model of care designed to support the early identification of health and developmental concerns in young children.

This role will be up to 0.6 FTE for approximately six months.

Embedded directly within two Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centres in Sydney’s Canterbury-Bankstown region, you will bridge the gap between early education, families, primary care, community health, and specialist services. Working closely with educators, families, and a multidisciplinary clinical and research team, you will ensure children with emerging health or developmental needs receive timely, culturally safe, and coordinated support.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Integrated Care and Screening: Review developmental and health screening results (including ASQ data in REDCap) to identify children requiring follow-up, and coordinate timely, evidence-based responses.

• Family Engagement: Conduct structured, supportive discussions with families to clarify developmental or health concerns, share evidence-based information, and facilitate shared decision-making.

• Referral Pathways and Continuity of Care: Coordinate warm handovers and referrals to primary care, allied health, specialist, and community services, actively monitoring progress to ensure continuity of care.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Partner with project clinicians, educators, Local Health Districts, and Primary Health Networks to support case review meetings, referral prioritisation, and coordinated care plans.

• Capacity Building and Health Promotion: Co-design and deliver education and capacity-building sessions for families and early childhood educators alongside project clinicians.

• Project Governance and Evaluation: Maintain accurate participant records and databases in line with privacy and research ethics standards, prepare stakeholder updates, and contribute to continuous quality improvement and implementation evaluation.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will bring a strong commitment to child- and family-centred care, along with:

• Qualifications and Background: A degree in Nursing or an Allied Health profession with current AHPRA registration and relevant post-qualification experience; OR extensive experience in care coordination, case management, or service navigation within a child, family, community, or primary health setting (or an equivalent combination of experience and training).

• Autonomous Problem-Solving: Proven ability to independently manage a complex workload, exercise sound clinical/operational judgment, and navigate competing priorities to meet deadlines.

• Relationship and Stakeholder Management: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with a track record of building trusted partnerships across diverse families, educators, and multidisciplinary health teams.

• Culturally Safe Practice: A deep understanding of equitable, culturally safe service delivery tailored to diverse communities.

• Technical and Research Literacy: Proficiency in Microsoft Office and electronic data capture systems (such as REDCap), paired with a commitment to research integrity, privacy compliance, and continuous quality improvement.

Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of translational child health research and integrated service delivery. You will have the autonomy to shape day-to-day care coordination on the ground while contributing directly to an evidence-informed pilot aimed at improving long-term health and developmental outcomes for children in the Canterbury-Bankstown community.
