The Homes First Dual Diagnosis Clinician will have a clear understanding of the Housing First principles and will proactively engage individuals and families engaged in the Homes First program who identify with a range of complex and diverse needs. Dual diagnosis support will be accessible to people experiencing one or more diagnosed mental health problems occurring at the same time as problematic drug and alcohol use.

A dual diagnosis condition can include:

  • a mental health problem or disorder leading to or associated with problematic alcohol and/or other drug use
  • a substance use disorder leading to or associated with a mental health problem or disorder
  • alcohol and/or other drug use worsening or altering the course of a person’s mental illness.

This approach promotes the concept of ‘one right door’ when receiving clinical support and eliminates the possibility of individuals being referred between mental health and AOD clinicians. The Homes First Dual Diagnosis Clinician will sit within Junction’s Therapeutic and Allied Health Services team and receive clinical supervision and support in line with Junction’s Supervision Framework.

Selection Criteria:

  • A relevant tertiary qualification such as Social Work, Psychology, or Social Science, and relevant experience to this role.
  • An understanding of dual diagnosis, with an ability to apply this knowledge effectively when providing therapeutic support and intervention.
  • Highly developed communication skills and demonstrated ability to provide direct service in the clinical assessment and treatment of young people and adults.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of trauma, attachment and neurobiology frameworks and theories.
  • A demonstrated ability to be receptive and flexible to new ideas and the capacity to adapt to changing work demands and circumstances.
