Work in a values-based team that cares as much as you do about supporting people facing challenges with substance abuse and helping them on their path to recovery.
Your role will involve direct patient care, counselling, and collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team to deliver holistic care and ensure safe and effective management of withdrawal and co-occurring physical and mental health conditions.
You will also work closely with other AOD service streams and related sectors to provide an integrated catchment-wide service response.
No nights or weekend work! It’s a part-time role with the option to work between 26.6 to 34.2 hours per week during weekdays between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm.
In addition to base salary hourly rate and superannuation, you’ll also receive 17.5% leave loading and the ability to increase your take-home pay by accessing up to $15,900 in salary packaging benefits that can be used on living expenses such as groceries, bills, clothing, streaming services, and much more.
There is also the option to increase your annual leave entitlements through our purchase leave program. You can access a 10% discount on the childcare subsidy gap fee when using a Uniting Early Learning service or centre and we also offer a 25% discount off donated goods at Uniting Op shops.
