Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Current DAPAANZ registration (preferred).
• 2+ years’ experience working in AOD and/or mental health settings.
• Strong knowledge of addiction, recovery and therapeutic frameworks.
• Experience completing clinical assessments, treatment planning and therapeutic interventions.
• Demonstrated experience supporting people experiencing substance use challenges.

What’s in it for you

• Extensive wellbeing support, including counselling, budgeting advice, coaching and mental health workshops to support your hauora and personal growth.
• Staff discounts with a range of retailers and outlets.
• Generous leave entitlements, including wellbeing, cultural and study leave where applicable.
• Ongoing training, learning and professional development opportunities.
• An inclusive and supportive workplace grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our Pou (guiding pillars).
