This is a hands-on frontline role where you will work directly with clients who may be experiencing AOD dependence alongside homelessness, mental health concerns, social disadvantage and other complex support needs.





You will provide individual therapeutic support and coordinated care while also facilitating SMART Recovery and contributing to other therapeutic AOD and dual diagnosis groups.

The role is primarily hub-based however there may also be opportunities to participate in outreach and work collaboratively with external health, mental health, welfare and community services.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Conduct comprehensive, person-centred AOD assessments including appropriate risk assessment
- Provide individual counselling and therapeutic support to people experiencing problematic alcohol and other drug use
- Develop collaborative Individual Recovery Plans and treatment plans based on each client's circumstances, needs and recovery goals
- Deliver evidence-based AOD interventions including harm minimisation, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and other therapeutic approaches
- Facilitate SMART Recovery groups, supporting participants to develop practical strategies for managing addictive behaviours and progressing their recovery goals
- Contribute to the facilitation of other AOD, recovery and dual diagnosis group programs

ABOUT YOU

You may currently be working within AOD services, community mental health, homelessness services, rehabilitation, withdrawal services, community health, welfare or another community-based therapeutic environment.

You understand that recovery is not always linear and that effective AOD support starts with meeting the person where they are.

You can build rapport with people experiencing complex circumstances while maintaining professional boundaries and providing evidence-based support in a respectful and non-judgemental way.

You are comfortable working independently as a clinician while also recognising that good outcomes often require collaboration across AOD, mental health, housing, healthcare and community services.

Most importantly, you bring empathy, sound clinical judgement and a genuine commitment to supporting people to identify and work towards their own r
