Social Worker II

This is an exciting opportunity to be a member of the Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACT). Reporting to the Care Manager, the Social Worker will provide assertive, client focused, culturally appropriate, recovery-oriented care to adults experiencing severe and persistent mental illness, addictions and houselessness. ACT works primarily with individuals whose illness presents a barrier to engagement in treatment. Clinical services are most often delivered through outreach services in the community, and in partnership and collaboration with clients, families, other providers, inner city agencies, and community programs. ACT also has a partnership with Homeward Trust Edmonton. As part of the multi-disciplinary team, the successful candidate will be responsible for providing a variety of social work services, including working with housing providers and additional care teams to assist ACT clients in their housing. Comprehensive awareness of housing resources and an understanding of personal and systemic housing barriers is essential. This position requires skill in assessment of risk, mental status, and addictions.

As a Social Worker II, you will be a member of an inter-disciplinary team and provides a range of social work services to patients and their families. Your services may include: psychosocial assessment, resource-based interventions, individual, group and family treatment, risk screening, counselling, case management and coordination, transition or discharge planning, and prevention, promotion and public awareness activities.
