About Ravenhall Correctional Centre

Ravenhall is Victoria’s largest, medium security prison for adult sentenced and unsentenced males. Its contemporary campus-style design provides a safe and humane environment that enables and nurtures GEOs Continuum of Care operating philosophy.

Ravenhall also has a dedicated Forensic Mental Health Unit, a specialised Closed Supervision Unit for prisoners with significant challenging behaviours, and a small Mission Based Unit for prisoners who have never been in custody before. In recognition of the importance of Continuum of Care, Ravenhall extends its presence into the community by providing ex-prisoners with access to post-release support at GEO’s Community Reintegration Centre.

With key focus on young adult offenders, Aboriginal and those with complex and mental health needs, prisoners at Ravenhall have significant opportunities to engage in work, education, programs and services, through an evidence based approach to reduce re-offending.

Ravenhall’s unprecedented emphasis on offender rehabilitation and reintegration is evidenced through collaborative and integrated relationships with key Alliance service partners including Forensicare, GEO Healthcare Plus, YMCA, Honeywell and Bendigo Kangan Institute of Tafe.

About the Opportunity

The Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Specialist at Ravenhall Correctional Centre plays a crucial in assisting in accessing drug and alcohol programs within the prison, aiding in their journey towards recovery.

Contribute to case-management planning and case reviews and community reintegration plans.
Collaborate with custodial and non-custodial staff, health services and other Alliance Partners and other providers, to develop effective working relationships.
Participate in community activities and relevant cultural and religious celebrations.
Participate in supervision and professional development opportunities consistent with the AOD Specialist role.
Participate in peer supervision with colleagues and support new team members through observation of your practice.
Facilitate training as required for custodial and non-custodial staff.

A relevant tertiary health qualification such as social work, counselling, psychology, nursing, or a Certificate IV in AOD, Diploma in AOD, or equivalent extensive experience in the AOD sector.
Demonstrated experience in AOD screening and assessment, harm minimisation education, and person-centred care and recovery-focused support for people with AOD concerns and dual diagnosis.
Demonstrated contemporary knowledge of AOD harm minimisation principles and strategies.
