Our diverse teams work with individuals, families and communities to reduce drug use, improve mental health and reconnect people to their family and the community.

The position

The key purpose of the position is to conduct comprehensive assessments and provide a range of counselling interventions to assist clients and their families to reduce harms resulting from problematic alcohol and other drug use, and increase their capacity to effectively manage the difficulties they are experiencing.

A day in the life of this position includes: mentoring, developing and supporting less experienced clinicians, assessing clients, conducting counselling and group work, progressing client treatment plans and making relevant referrals, liaising with other services to support the provision of recovery and harm reduction treatment, attending clinical reviews and completing case notes and other client documentation.
