• You will need to either hold, be working towards, or willing to obtain a Certificate IV in Alcohol and Other Drugs, Mental Health, Community Services or other relevant field.
• Flexibility and commitment to working a 24/7 roster pattern which may include evening shifts – and feeling comfortable working in an autonomous role.
• Being an excellent communicator – you’ll be able to engage with a range of people from different walks of life, in a non-judgemental and supportive way.
• A friendly, open, and positive attitude – building relationships to support clients, and providing them with a positive role-model, will be a big part of your role.
• Emotional maturity and a calm demeanour, especially in high-pressure or conflict situations.
• Working within professional boundaries with a solid understanding of how to practice these with clients and colleagues.
• You’ll self-care – this role can be challenging and it’s important to us that you are at your best, to do your best.
• Being willing, engaged and comfortable with change – we welcome ideas and suggestions for improvement.
• Strong computer skills, experience with client note-taking and an understanding of how handovers work.

To be female is a genuine requirement for this position under Section 31 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) and Section 30 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth).

Most importantly, you’ll live and breathe our values, which means:

• You show up and share
• You ask: Why not? And what’s next?
• You leave a positive wake
