    THE ROLE

    Our client, a recently formed company in the Healthcare industry, is seeking an experienced Counsellor to join their facilities in both Red Deer and Lethbridge, Alberta. In a residential treatment environment, the Counsellor works with individuals who have acute and/or chronic addiction issues and comorbid mental health challenges.

    Therapeutic Living Units (TLU) are Therapeutic Communities embedded in correctional settings. This model provides a unique opportunity for inmates (referred to as members) to proactively engage in evidence-based care for substance use disorders. The ‘agent’ of change in the TLU is the whole community. The role of the Therapist is to support the “community as method” process. Staff involve themselves in activities such as recreation, meal preparation, dining, and chores, on an equal footing with TLU members, as a means of emphasizing their membership in the community and their participation as role models.

    Reporting to the Therapist and Program Manager, and as a key member of the TLU staff team, the Counsellor is an active TLU member and, as such, also participates in community living activities with our members including mealtimes and recreation activities.

    The Counsellor requires clinical skills with individuals and groups, group facilitation experience, crisis intervention and containment skills. They require the ability to understand the dynamics of offending behavior and to assess this population’s needs and risks. This is an immersive and intensive treatment environment; thus, excellent time management and organizational skills are essential.

    • Maintain standards of confidentiality and consent and ethical and professional boundaries while working with TLU members.
    • Provide and receive constructive feedback to advance member’s personal growth and agency and to enhance the collective health and effectiveness of the TLU environment.
    • Actively participate as a valued TLU member by promoting and contributing to a psychologically safe and supportive team environment through attendance at groups, as well as supervising and training staff and conducting workshops under the direction of the Program Lead or Therapist.
    • Regularly assess the physical, social, and psychological environment of the TLU, increasing member awareness and the community’s function by providing feedback on behaviors.
    • Role model behavioral expectations of conduct, dress, daily work habits, interpersonal communication, positive attitudes, temperament, emotional self-management and adherence to facility rules.
    • Actively contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of the service model and quality improvement processes.
    • Under the direction and/or guidance of the Program Lead or Therapist, support and foster situations that result in learning experiences requiring conflict resolution, problem solving, decision-making, coping under stress and pro-social behaviors.
    • Respond to crisis and urgent situations.
    • Liaise with family members, correctional and community agencies under the direction of the Program Lead or Therapist.
    • Willingness to work evenings, weekends and differing shift patterns.

    KEY COMPETENCIES
