CATCH – VDQ Program Perth Metro Area
Community Support Workers – Specialised Skills
Part Time

Both CATCH and VDQ Programs were established in 2006. The objective of each Program is to provide quality of life at home for people who, previously, would have required long-term hospitalization. In the move from hospital environment to community and family, PHCS is able to offer individuals and their families high levels of on-going clinical care and support.

The VDQ Program (Ventilator Dependent Quadriplegic – Community Care Program) provides assistance to non-compensable persons requiring mechanical ventilation, who wish to re-establish and maintain their lives in a community setting.

The CATCH Program assists children dependent on technology to return to their family home, once medically stable. Support is offered to families to care for their child in the home. The children in CATCH all have a long term dependence on medical technology to maintain respiratory function.

The role of support workers in the CATCH and VDQ Programs involves working with people and their families on a one-to-one basis to assist their participation in positive family and community interaction. It includes performing clinical tasks such as tracheostomy care, oxygen management, and ventilator management. Successful applicants will be provided on-the-job training by the primary carer (family) or existing team members and will also undertake Clinical Theory sessions with a PHCS Nurse Consultant. Once deemed competent by the Nurse Consultant, applicants are able to work as a part of the specialist team supporting the client at home.

We welcome applicants with prior experience or Certificate III in Community Care (Disability or Aged) but are also keen to hear from anyone who thinks they would have the drive and commitment necessary to make a positive difference in peoples’ lives. A current driver’s licence is essential, plus access to a reliable vehicle.

If you require further information, don’t hesitate to contact CATCH/VDQ Coordinators, Stephanie Winterton or Jay Landuyt, on 9204 7800. Otherwise call Recruitment Officer, Lyn Curtis or Joanne Harding on on 9204 7800 or email  recruitment@phcs.org.au.
