3 weeks ago

Brampton, Canada Peel Addiction Assessment and Referral Centre Full time

PAARC is a non-profit, community-based agency, providing a wide variety of services to persons with substance use and gambling concerns, and those living with concurrent emotional and mental health concerns. PAARC offers a person-centred philosophy, including a harm reduction approach, to a wide range of client populations and partners with many other agencies to provide integrated care.

PAARC is seeking mature, confident, responsible, professional individuals to join our Street Outreach Team, which is led by the Canadian Mental Health Association-Peel Dufferin Branch. The Concurrent Disorders Worker will provide high-quality services to those who are precariously housed or homeless with substance use, co-occurring emotional health and mental health issues, and people concerned about gambling and gaming behaviour and internet dependency. This position includes working within strong collaborative partnership programs that promote and celebrate diversity, inclusivity and accessibility.

Under the supervision of a clinical supervisor and the program manager, the majority of work will be conducted in the community, visiting clients in their homes, at other organizations, in PAARC’s various office locations, or at mutually-agreeable and safe locations within our geographic area. This position requires strong case management skills, and supportive counselling skills to provide care both in-person and using virtual platforms. Due to the vulnerability of the population served, most client-related care will take place in person.

PAARC offers a 35-hour workweek, with 8-hour shifts that cover the operating hours from 8:00 AM- 6:00 PM, with an unpaid hour for meals. Shifts are typically from 8:00 AM- 4:00PM, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM or 10:00 AM-6:00 PM.
