Substance Use Recovery Worker - Suffolk Drug & Alcohol Service (Ipswich)

Job Introduction

We will be holding a recruitment event which will provide an opportunity to find out more information about the services and the kind of work that we do. This will be on Saturday 24th January 11am-2pm at the Ipswich hub: Sanderson House, 17-19 Museum Street, Ipswich, IP1 1HE .

Do you want to help build a brighter future for communities and individuals in Suffolk doing a highly rewarding job. Turning Point’s drug & alcohol services are currently expanding during a really exciting time in the sector with new funding and investment. We have a range of roles for people passionate about supporting others to make change.

For a Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary £25,870 with annual pay progression up to £30,265. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting salary above the initial starting salary).

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Recovery Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.

Role Responsibility

Recovery workers act as ‘key workers’ to a caseload of service users, supporting them to decide their goals around treatment and develop plans to achieve these. The role includes maintaining regular contact with your clients, offering advice, information and psycho-social interventions as well as providing assessments, risk management planning and working closely with our clinical staff around prescribing needs and partner agencies.

You will be responsible for delivering a range of harm reduction evidence-based interventions to reduce drug related harms, including needle and syringe provision, safer injecting information and support and advice around blood borne virus prevention and treatment.

No day is the same in this role but an ability to communicate effectively with a range or service users and colleagues, an ability to manage different tasks and a commitment to Turning Point values are essential. You may have lived experience of substance use/mental health/homelessness (self or a significant other), come with experience supporting people in health and social care or just have a keen interest in supporting this group; if your values are right, we have a role for everyone.

You will need good IT and communication skills.

This is a front-line role providing support to people around their use of drugs and alcohol.

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll have an understanding of substance and alcohol use and the challenges and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey. However, we also recognise that many people have transferrable skills from other backgrounds such as mental health, housing or other health and social care provision. The roles are varied, so flexibility, an ability to work dynamically on a one to one and group basis and knowledge of relapse and other barriers to recovery will be vital but we can help to shape these skills where needed. We also look for candidates with excellent communication skills and who share our values as an organisation. We value individuals with lived experience but also those who are just interested in this line of work; our Trainee Recovery Worker program enables individuals without all relevant experience to gain an entry level position within the organisation before moving on to other roles.

We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of our services and the service user experience. Your ideas will be listened to and your suggestions implemented wherever possible. You will be supported in your role by extensive training to help develop your skills. Our learning culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their field and helps drive service improvement.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition an...

Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, is looking for a Housing First Officer to join our Bournemouth team based across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

About Us

We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently.

We offer all young people within our service a high level of support, ranging from basic house and life skills, through to arranging courses and providing additional support to other areas of general life.

• Undertake initial and ongoing needs/risk assessments for young people
• Manage your own caseload of young people, providing holistic support in line with their needs and aspirations
• Liaise with multiple agencies to ensure effective communication across the service and externally including social work teams, YOS, health, and other statutory services and voluntary agencies
• Make internal and external referrals to a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies for specialist support and Employment and Training opportunities
• Support young people to manage their rent accounts through liaison with the DWP, Social Services and building their own personal budgeting skills

This role is perfect for you if you:

• Are passionate about working with young people
• Have experience working within supported housing settings
• Are able to support YP with a range of high to low support needs
• Can work independently, as part of a team, and alongside a range of external partners.
• Have strong communication skills.

• 25 days of annual leave per year, rising by one day per year to a maximum of 27 days
• Healthcare cash plan (Cover the costs of a wide range of medical treatment including Dental, Optical, Complementary and Alternative therapies).
