Thorne Harbour Health, a progressive LGBTIQ+ community-controlled organisation, is seeking an appropriately qualified and experienced counsellor to join our small Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) team to provide evidence-based counselling interventions to community members experiencing problematic substance use.

As an AOD counsellor, you will work within a harm reduction and trauma-informed framework, using a range of approaches, including brief interventions, counselling, group work, and collaborative treatment planning. As part of a recently established program you will also help to embed the service within the broader SA service sector.

Thorne Harbour Health offers a supportive team environment, regular clinical supervision, ongoing professional development opportunities and the opportunity to further develop your skills in working from an LGBTIQ+ affirming and sex positive framework.

We offer generous salary packaging and a commitment to quality improvement.
