We're growing fast and building a reputation as a trusted, innovative provider, focused on clinical excellence… and we'd love you to be part of it.
As an AOD Counsellor Case Manager based in Cloncurry, you will engage and support a cohort of clients 12 years and above in managing, counselling, and treating AOD dependency and related issues.
This is an ongoing full-time role. The gross salary for this role ranges between $88,109 to $105,346 depending on knowledge and experience, plus superannuation and salary packaging.
In addition, we offer relocation assistance of up to $7,000 for you and your family, or a $200 weekly housing allowance for 12 months.
The Local Area
Living in Cloncurry, you'll never be too far away with flights to and from Townsville, Brisbane and Mount Isa 5-days a week. You'll be a part of a close-knit community, offering a relaxed and easy-going lifestyle. There's plenty of opportunity to socialise and meet people with unique events spread across the year, as well as the regular local activities such as social sports and the gym.
If you need a break from the traffic and fast-paced city lifestyle, Cloncurry could be the ideal change for you If you're not quite sure about leaving the creature comforts the city has to offer, don't stress, Mount Isa is only a 1.5 hour drive up the road. This role provides a unique opportunity to explore and experience many parts of Outback QLD.
Your opportunity
Your responsibilities include providing non-judgmental, client-centred support, conducting assessments, and offering a wide range of clinical and psycho-social interventions. You will work with clients to develop personalised recovery plans collaboratively.
Your daily tasks will involve a mix of face-to-face appointments, telehealth, stakeholder engagement, events, and online meetings (via Microsoft Teams) with staff for case conferences and supervision. Engaging with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients will be a central part of your role.
About once a month, you will engage in outreach work that involves overnight travel to support clients at different locations. This position does work with complex client presentations. The sole focus of support is AOD, but case management requires supporting clients who come with complex issues of mental health, domestic and family violence, homelessness, financial concerns, but this is not limited to the clientele.

* Excellent relationship and rapport building – this role includes networking with local providers and attending meetings and events
* Strong verbal and written communication skills; self-managing and able to prioritise your own workload
* A proactive team player - but as there is some overnight outreach involved - you will also be comfortable with autonomy and spending time on your own

* Be comfortable and competent using a variety of systems including teams, the Microsoft suite of programs and our client record management system.
* A sound understanding of the professional, ethical, and legislative frameworks, including understanding and setting boundaries.
