- 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.
