About the Business Unit
Corrections Victoria is part of the Department of Justice and Community Safety (the Department) and is responsible for the operation of Victoria's adult corrections system, public and privately operated prisons, and a transitional centre. It ensures that people held in prison are safely and securely contained and aims to rehabilitate people by addressing the underlying causes of offending behaviour.
As a division of Corrections Victoria, Forensic Intervention Services is a specialist program area within Offender Services that provides people who offend (our service users) in custody and in the community with evidence-based offence-specific screening, assessment and interventions to support their rehabilitation. In doing so, Forensic Intervention Services is a critical component of the Department's strategy to reduce reoffending and contribute to community safety.
About the Role
AOD Practitioners provide a range of services for people who meet eligibility for criminogenic AOD services, including screenings, assessments, intervention programs, and related tasks, in line with service requirements. The AOD Practitioners support the clinical team in the delivery of criminogenic alcohol and other drug (AOD) services state wide, including screenings, assessments, intervention programs, and related tasks, in line with service requirements.
The role will include opportunities to contribute to ongoing research and training on the assessment and treatment of relevant service users.
This role may require travel and the delivery of after-hours services.

**Some of your duties may include**:

- Facilitate/co-facilitate clinical intervention programs for people who offend, as required.
- Administration of assessment tools where required.
- Complete comprehensive case notes in a timely fashion using the departments information systems.
- Complete treatment plans, treatment reports, and risk assessment reports for internal and external stakeholders.

About You
- Demonstrated knowledge of/understanding of the link between AOD use and offending.
- Experience working with Forensic AOD and/or dual diagnosis clients.
- Demonstrated knowledge and skills delivering individual and/or group work interventions including ability to manage group dynamics and behaviour.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in addition to strong administrative and documentation skills.

Qualifications/Requirements
- Minimum qualification in Certificate or Diploma IV AOD, Community Services, or
- A relevant qualification in social work, a related human services discipline, criminal justice or criminology with work experience in related field (desirable).
- A current Victorian driver's licence is required.

This is a unique group you won't get access to anywhere else which is why we need practitioners who are not only driven by complexity but have optimism for change.
How We Support and Reward You
Our work can be demanding so we offer comprehensive training and support.
- A specialised induction program for new client-facing staff (including foundation, theory, and mentored on-the-job training)
- Exposure to national and international experts in forensic work.
- Mental health and wellbeing care - essential debriefing for the first 12 months for new forensic practitioners.
- Supervision by senior clinical staff with support on a day-to-day basis.
- Ongoing professional development including research program and study leave opportunities.
