Advertised by The Centre for Volunteering
About the organisation Street Side Medics is a not-for-profit, GP-led mobile medical service for people experiencing homelessness. Our vision is to ensure that all vulnerable individuals requiring healthcare can access it effortlessly, with dignity and respect.
At Street Side Medics make long term commitments to the communities in which we work. By teaming up with local community partners, and delivering our clinics from the same place, at the same time, on the same day, each week, we are able to build lasting relationships and ensure continuity of care.
The team on the ground each week are all volunteers and include GPs, other medical practitioners, registered and enrolled nurses, allied health professionals and other non-medical volunteers that may come from a variety of professional backgrounds. The clinics operate from vans with full medical fit outs, and work in conjunction with other homeless services 6 days a week at 16 locations across NSW, VIC and ACT
About this opportunity
We are recruiting General Practitioners to join the Street Side Medics Clinic team in Lalor Park. The clinic operates weekly on a Tuesday evening from 6.30pm - 8.30pm alongside other community services. While the clinic operates weekly, we just ask that you be available for approximately one shift a month. Volunteers are asked to make an ongoing commitment to this role.
As a GP your role involves providing the same medical care you provide at your own clinic or workplace. In our clinics, our GPs work closely with support staff including other medical practitioners, nurses, paramedics and admin support officers to consult with patients and provide referrals and care plans.
The impact of this role As a GP-led organisation, the time and care provided by GP volunteers is crucial to providing primary health care to those who need it most.
Benefits include a chance to become part of a tight knit volunteer community while providing meaningful and immediate support to the most vulnerable amongst us. You will also have the opportunity to learn and get access to our key speakers at our annual education days.
