In this role, you will:

• Conduct comprehensive alcohol and other drug assessments, including risk assessment and screening

You’ll work within a multidisciplinary environment that brings together clinical expertise, strong community partnerships and a shared commitment to harm minimisation, recovery and person-centred care.

About You

You’re an experienced Social Worker who can balance strong clinical judgement with curiosity, empathy and a genuinely person-centred approach. You’re comfortable having complex conversations, assessing risk and working with people who may be uncertain or ambivalent about change. You understand that there isn’t one pathway to recovery and can work alongside consumers to identify realistic goals and the supports that are right for them.

You’ll bring:

• A minimum of two years’ post-qualifying clinical experience
• Experience within alcohol and other drug, mental health and/or a relevant area of clinical practice
• Strong assessment, clinical reasoning and treatment-planning skills
• Knowledge of harm minimisation and the contemporary AOD service system
• Experience delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions
• An understanding of co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns
• The ability to work autonomously while remaining connected to a multidisciplinary team
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships across health and community services
• A current Victorian Driver Licence

Experience providing Social Work assessment, intervention and case management within drug and alcohol services will be highly regarded.

 

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to work at a point in someone’s journey where the right conversation, assessment or connection to treatment can make a meaningful difference. At SECADA, you’ll:

• Work across both assessment and therapeutic intervention, giving you variety in your clinical practice
• Build specialist expertise in alcohol and other drug assessment, counselling and treatment planning
• Work alongside an experienced multidisciplinary Drug & Alcohol team
