About Us

\Entities provide specialist services for adults experiencing addiction and mental health issues, focusing on providing evidence-based interventions. We strive to create a climate of safety for ourselves and colleagues. The team offers specialist support in a client and whānau-centred manner, including cultural and community connections.
We are a collective of skilled professionals who value working together to deliver high-quality services. Our staff are encouraged and supported to complete further education and have completed Post-Grad Certificates in areas such as Nursing, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.\

The Role

\Our Addiction Specialists work within our multi-disciplinary team to get the best outcomes for our people and their whānau. They apply evidence-based practices, such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, in an individualised manner while also working with other services and organisations to address obstacles to recovery.
This is an opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of adults who experience moderate to severe addiction issues, alongside moderate to severe mental health difficulties or associated physical health issues. You will be part of a stable team with good workflow management, which means that your caseloads are very low in relation to national averages.\

About You

\We welcome applications from registered nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists who are committed to delivering exceptional care. Previous experience working in the Mental Health and Addiction sector is an advantage, but we are keen to find a good fit and would welcome a less experienced candidate who is able to develop rapidly. You must have excellent communication skills and ability to relate well to a wide variety of people.
