About the organisation

Organisation Name : Thorne Harbour Health

Thorne Harbour Health is a community-controlled LGBTI organisation, governed by our members, and working for our sex, sexuality and gender diverse communities.

For 35 years as the Victorian AIDS Council (VAC), the organisation led the Victorian community’s response to HIV and AIDS. Our work has now moved beyond Victoria, and Thorne Harbour Health is responding to a broad range of issues. Thorne Harbour Health aims to improve the health, social and emotional well-being of LGBTI communities and those living with or affected by HIV, with a particular emphasis on bringing the HIV and AIDS epidemic to an end.

About the role

Thorne Harbour Health, Victoria’s largest provider of LGBTI health services is looking for two appropriately qualified, warm, organised, collaborative and enthusiastic case workers to join our busy Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) team to provider Care and Recovery Coordination (CRC) for LGBTI community members and PLHIV experiencing problematic substance use. One role will cover West Metro, and one will cover North East Metro.

As a CRC worker you will work within an LGBTI affirming, harm reduction and trauma informed framework, using a range of approaches, including outreach, brief interventions, opportunistic counselling, assessment, and collaborative treatment planning. You will help clients connect to and engage with appropriate internal and external services in order to help them achieve their identified AOD treatment goals.

Knowledge of HIV, hep C and sexual health is desirable as is an LGBTI affirmative stance and a genuine interest in meeting the health and well-being needs of our diverse community. Previous experience in case work and/or AOD will be highly regarded, but is not essential.

Thorne Harbour Health offers a supportive team environment, regular clinical supervision, ongoing professional development opportunities and the opportunity to further develop your skills in working from an LGBTI affirming and sex positive framework.
