The role will provide operational leadership and line management to the AOD staff located across Hawthorn and Doncaster sites. This role can be Fulltime or Part time 0.8EFT to accommodate your work life balance.

**About the role**

The AOD Team Leader will provide operational leadership and line management to a multidisciplinary team of AOD staff, including social workers, counsellors, nurse practitioners, peer support workers and AOD Clinicians.

Therapeutic interventions may include motivational interviewing, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention. There may also be opportunities to co-facilitate therapeutic AOD and dual diagnosis groups within our service.

The AOD Team Leader may also be required to attend relevant consortium partnership meetings, professional discipline meetings in relation to the AOD sector and client service provision. Clients of the AOD service can also access a peer support group run by peer facilitators, brief interventions and therapeutic groups as appropriate.
