Turning Point
Young Persons Recovery Worker
Job Introduction
Do you want to help build a brighter future for communities and individuals in Wakefield 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.
We have roles in different teams including:
- Community based treatment services: providing assessment, coordinating treatment and working partnership to support individuals. The roles include delivering structured psycho-social interventions in group and one to level to enable our service users to acquire thinking skills and behaviours to make lasting change.
- Criminal Justice rehabilitation/recovery services: working closely with the Probation Services, Prisons and Police to provide a rapid, tailored response to individuals that support their recovery and rehabilitation
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 Substance Use 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. 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.
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.

Job Introduction
Foster Carer (Mainstream)
Self-employed, home-based role
Maximum payment: £628.40 per child per week
All foster carers are self-employed, but your fostering approval is held by Foster for Bradford, Bradford Children and Families Trust’s fostering service. Working with us offers the opportunity to work with some great people who are passionate about delivering change in a city whose culture offers as much diversity as it’s geography. You can make a real difference to families and children and be an active part in delivering the service Bradford families should receive.
We are fully committed to equal opportunities, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds.
About the Role
Foster carers provide a safe, nurturing environment for children and young people unable to live with their birth families, supporting their emotional, educational, and social needs.
You will look after a child / children or young person, depending on your skills and age preferences, in your own home as part of your family.
You will have access to support from a social worker and on-going training.
You will need to go through a series of checks – including home checks and police/ local authority checks, along with anyone else over the age of 16 in your home.
Essential Requirements:
- You must be over 21 years of age
- You must have a spare room available for a foster child. The room should have a window and be big enough to hold a single bed and a chest of draws/ wardrobe
- British citizenship or leave to remain in the UK
To be successful in this role you will need:
- The ability to work as part of a team who will be working to support the child
- Ability to keep records in English
- Ability to keep going in difficult times
- A basic understanding of child trauma – training will be provided
Different types of foster care:
Short term fostering
These are stays of a few nights up to three years, depending on the care plan. The greatest need is care for:
- School Age Children and Teenagers
- Sibling groups to keep brothers and sisters together
Specific help you may provide includes helping teenagers prepare for independence or a return home; parent and child fostering (usually mum and baby) supporting them to develop parenting skills; helping children with any missed schooling and development of routines; encouraging education and participation in activities.
Long term or permanent fostering
Children often need a long-term foster family until they are ready to fly the nest.
Most children are aged between 7 and 12 years old when they come to stay with their long-term foster family.
Short Breaks (minimum commitment one weekend a month): full and part-time opportunities available
Our short-break care service offers breaks for children including disabled children and their families. Some occur weekly, others monthly and some just in the school holidays.
Holiday care for foster families – full and part-time opportunities available
Weekend or holiday stays for children and young people but can be required for occasional weekdays. These stays may be planned regular breaks and / or ad-hoc breaks to support foster children and their families. Most foster carers offer this as part of their support to other foster families.
You’ll also be joining an organisation that truly values its people, offering a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, growth, and work-life balance, including:
- 28 days annual leave entitlement
- Competitive payment package and progression structure
- 12-week retainer payments for times when you are not looking after children
