• Advocate for clients and help amplify their voices.
• Promote a recovery-oriented and inclusive service environment.
• Work collaboratively with residential and clinical team members.
• Encourage engagement with treatment, recovery supports and community connections.

• A compassionate, respectful and non-judgemental approach.
• The ability to build rapport with people from diverse backgrounds.
• Confidence working independently and as part of a team.
• A willingness to learn and contribute positively to a recovery-focused environment.
