**Me haere tahi tatou mō te hauora me te oranga o ngā iwi katoa o Aotearoa** - Let us journey together for the heath and wellbeing of Aotearoa

**He kōrero mō mātou | About Us**

EaseUp is a community-based youth mental health and addictions service providing brief therapeutic interventions for rangatahi aged 12 - 24 and their whānau. After a successful pilot and subsequent expansion in Tāmaki Makaurau, and the establishment of a service in the South Waikato, we're now able to offer this opportunity to a Mental Health Professional based in Te Awamutu, Tokoroa, Te Kuiti, or Taumaranui or surrounds.

EaseUp is made up of Kaiwhakamahereora Waranga (Addiction Practitioners), Kaiwhakamahereora Hinengaro (Mental Health Professionals), and Te Hunga Tuarā Tautoko ā-aropā (Peer Support Workers) who work in partnership with rangatahi. The service provides holistic support to fit the needs of rangatahi and is delivered where the rangatahi feels most comfortable e.g. whare, papa rēhia etc.

**He kōrero mō te tūranga | The Role**

Based in Te Awamutu, Tokoroa, Te Kuiti, or Taumaranui or surrounds, you will be responsible for providing clinical assessment and treatment for young people presenting with substance use issues and/or mental health issue.

The service works within the principles of abstinence and harm reduction and in a holistic manner, recognising the multi-faceted problems that co-exist with AOD addiction. You will be a resilient natural leader, approachable, happy to support and offer guidance to colleagues, and most importantly a person who a Service Manager can trust and rely on. You should be passionate about youth and familiar with local culture.

Young people are supported to work towards their goals by your integration of clinical expertise and competencies, with recovery approaches. Completing client pathway administration is also a large part of the role.

Sometimes faced with challenging behaviour you'll utilise your calmness to engage and empathise with whānau and be quick to think on your feet with how to deal with situations when whānau become unwell and need support. You will need to be flexible and happy to pick up "hands on" duties.
