*Of Substance Jobs Board*
Of Substance has launched an online jobs website for Australia’s AOD workforce. The site was launched in response to AOD employers who have reported that mainstream newspaper ads often fail to attract the staff they are seeking due to geographical constraints and specialised skill requirements. Advertising AOD jobs on the Of Substance Jobs Board is intended to overcome these problems. Its targeted readership and promotions means advertisements will be read by people already working in, or connected to, the AOD sector. Of Substance has an estimated readership of 35,000 people which includes frontline workers in the AOD field, as well as health professionals, social workers, educators, researchers, law enforcers, and policy makers.
