Introduction:
Bring your skills, compassion and care to support people affected by alcohol and other drugs. Join our team at Odyssey House NSW and help us reconnect lives, families and communities.

Be part of the diverse and inclusive culture we’re building in which our clients, staff and broader community feel safe, respected and valued.

Take your opportunity to thrive at a leading not-for-profit where we trust in your limitless potential.

Odyssey House NSW’s trauma-informed services set us apart as a leader in the support service space for alcohol and other drugs dependency. Our teams help clients to meet their goals and address underlying trauma and mental health issues, while also developing new skills to improve all aspects of their lives.

We provide a diverse range of services to individuals, families and community education. Our services include withdrawal services; one-on-one assessment and treatment by psychologists and counsellors; group therapy; residential rehabilitation; and free education at Odyssey College.

Our organisation takes safeguarding children and young people seriously, and as an employee of Odyssey House NSW, you are required to meet the behaviour standards outlined in our Code of Conduct.

Find us at our head office in Redfern and at our network of residential rehabilitation and community sites which span across Greater Sydney, the Southern Highlands and Blue Mountains.

Description:
Community Living Supports (CLS) is a state-wide psychosocial support program for people with complex mental health needs, with the focus on supporting consumers to live well in their community with choice, dignity and self-determination. CLS works alongside consumers to build on their strengths and aspirations, offering practical support that promotes recovery, confidence, independence and connection to community.

CLS Peer Workers are lived‑experience team members who use their own experience of mental health challenges, service use and personal recovery to build genuine, mutual relationships with consumers and to bring hope and connection into the support journey. They purposefully and appropriately share lived experience to support engagement, role‑model recovery and strengthen a consumer’s sense of choice and self‑determination, which distinguishes them from the broader CLS team.

Skills and Experiences:
Relevant VET qualification or tertiary qualification in relevant field and professional registration where relevant.
Experience supporting persons with mental health support needs and/or co-existing support needs.
Demonstrated capacity to engage with and mentor people to work towards their recovery goals in a structured and planned way
Demonstrated capacity to maintain a strength-based, trauma-informed and recovery-oriented outlook that creates a sense of hope and resilience.
Ability to provide advocacy for people accessing services as well as internal advocacy to create trauma-informed, person led services.
Ability to be self-motivated and work autonomously or as part of a multidisciplinary team; work efficiently and effectively and be flexible to the changing needs of the work environment
The ability to regulate emotions, remain calm and be emotionally resilient while interacting and supporting clients with high levels of emotion and at time emotionally disturbing conversations.

Essential

Hold or have the ability to obtain a Criminal History Check and Working With Children clearance for paid employment.
Current NSW Driver's License.
Unlimited right to live and work in Australia.
COVID Vaccinated.
