We are looking for a keyworker / link worker in the Cranstoun Worcestershire drug and alcohol treatment service who share our values and are ready to support individuals affected by alcohol and/or drug use on their journey to healthier, safer lives.
This is an exciting new role, within the Harm Reduction Treatment Team, providing liaison between Cranstoun and hospitals in Worcestershire (and occasionally further afield) when people who use substances are admitted as an inpatient.
