**A bit about the role**:
The AOD Clinician position forms part of the multidisciplinary team at the Living Room Primary Health service. As part of the Substance Misuse Team, our AOD clinicians work with people experiencing multiple and complex needs to provide strengths-based and therapeutic interventions designed to reduce the frequency and severity of mental health crisis and the harms of high-risk AOD use amongst Melbourne’s rough sleeping population accessing The Living Room Primary Health Services.

Working within a social model of health, the position will provide crisis interventions, undertakes structure and semi-structured counselling sessions and conduct supported referrals across a range of domains. As a senior clinician, this position provides supervision for clinicians within the Substance Misuse Team and secondary consultations to staff at The Living Room and other teams working with clients presenting with a range of complex mental health and harmful AOD use.
