Drug and Alcohol Practitioner

Are you passionate about supporting people to make positive, lasting change?

We’re looking for a Drug & Alcohol Practitioner to join our team in Hull, delivering vital psychosocial interventions and accredited treatment programmes to individuals with drug and alcohol needs within an integrated healthcare setting.

In this full-time (35 hours per week) role, you’ll support individuals on their recovery journey using both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to move forward and prepare for life beyond custody.

What you’ll be doing

• You’ll play a key role in delivering person-centred support, including:
• Managing a caseload of service users and supporting their treatment journeys
• Completing risk assessments, care planning and regular reviews
• Delivering structured 1:1 interventions and group programmes
• Providing harm reduction advice and recovery-focused support
• Facilitating accredited drug and alcohol treatment programmes
• Supporting individuals to develop release and resettlement plans

This role sits within a multi-disciplinary team, so partnership working is key. You’ll work closely with:

• Healthcare teams
• Probation services
• Housing and employment services
• External drug and alcohol services

Together, you’ll ensure individuals receive the support they need both during custody and as they prepare for release.

What we’re looking for

We’re seeking someone who is motivated, organised and committed to supporting recovery.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience working with drug and alcohol services, recovery programmes or offender rehabilitation
• Confidence delivering group work and structured interventions
• Strong assessment, case management and care planning skills
• The ability to build effective relationships with partner agencies and colleagues

Additional responsibilities

• Maintain accurate case records and outcome reporting
• Contribute to service targets, audits and quality standards
• Use case management systems such as P-NOMIS and other internal systems
• Carry out second signatory processes and oral swab testing where required

Flexibility is important in this role, including occasional evening or weekend work and travel to other services within the cluster when required.

If you’re looking for a rewarding role where you can genuinely change lives, we’d love to hear from you.
