Job Description

Your role

Join an incredible team of caring professionals in helping our amazing clients create lasting change in their lives. Help clients recover from their AOD dependencies, get their careers back on track, radically improve their physical and mental health, and reunite with loved ones.

As a Community Care Worker, you’ll play a vital role in empowering an individual’s first steps of their AOD recovery journey, enabling them to enter our residential rehabilitation facility. Your work will involve providing compassionate outreach support, advocating for clients’ needs, sharing of vital information, and helping build life-changing skills. You’ll also be a key support for families and carers, guiding them as they walk alongside their loved ones toward a healthier future.

In this role, you will use your extensive contacts, qualifications and experience to develop relationships with other health professionals and be the accessible, professional face of our rehabilitation facility. You will be required to collaborate closely with government and non-government agencies, mental health and legal services, and other support networks to create holistic, wrap-around care and build strong referral pathways that enhance client outcomes.

Your assessment and brief intervention skills will be essential in triaging and actively supporting clients on our wait list, in a compassionate, fair and transparent manner. You will aid those seeking to enter the facility and provide practical support to facilitate a smooth intake from the community into our service. You may also facilitate psychoeducational groups.

Outside of client support, you will also provide data reporting and participate in the monitoring and evaluation of the Service. This position requires staff to work in compliance with the Human Services Quality Framework and the National Quality Framework for Alcohol and other Drugs.

This is a Permanent, Part-time position (19 hours per week) based in Townsville, with shifts spread across four days, primarily morning shifts.

Desired Skills and Experience

To be successful in the role, you will meet the following criteria:

Tertiary qualifications in Social Work, Alcohol & other Drugs, Mental Health, or similar (Mandatory)
Experience in developing and delivering comprehensive individual and group programs to support individuals recovering from drug and alcohol dependencies, as well as their families.
COVID-19 vaccination status is recommended for this role but not a mandatory requirement.
Understanding of and commitment to the philosophy of the St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland and an ability to work in accordance with policies and procedures to promote the values and mission of the Society

Ready to apply? We can’t wait to hear from you.

You can submit your application directly on our careers page!

Having the right people in our team is important to us. Before joining our team, we’ll undertake pre-employment checks including references, a police check, and proof of qualifications/licences.
