• Who we are

  At Via, our mission is to provide the best health and wellbeing support to as many people as possible, helping them to change their lives for the better.

  Last year, we supported over 11,000 people across the UK affected by alcohol and drug use. Everything we do is driven by our values:

  • Care. Care for people is at the heart of everything we do.

  • Be human. We are accessible, genuine and humble. Always learning.

  • Do the right thing. We’re open, honest and inclusive. We get things done.

  We want to recruit the very best talent. We believe in nurturing a positive workplace culture where our colleagues feel valued, recognised, empowered, and supported.

  What we’re looking for

  This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced and growing organisation.

  We’re looking for Bank/Sessional Recovery Practitioner’s to support our service users of Residential Service across our Passmores House/Kings Acre sites

  We are looking for someone who is flexible, works well as part of a team and committed to working within set policies, procedures and protocols. We provide compassionate and professional support for individuals on their journey to recovery from drug and alcohol dependency.

  You will:

  • be part of a dynamic multidisciplinary team that is delivering an excellent detoxification and rehabilitation service.

  • provide support to a group of people who use our service and work collaboratively with colleagues and other key stakeholders.

  • deliver evidence based, low threshold interventions and harm reduction advice.

  Through a variety of interventions, you will encourage individuals to develop external interests and build on their support networks and develop recovery capital to support community reintegration.

  An empathic and non-judgmental approach is imperative, as this role involves working with a wide range of challenging scenarios and behaviours. Good time management and team working are also essential skills required for this role.

  This is not just a job – you’ll help people rebuild their lives, reconnect with their family and friends, return to work or education, and much more.

  We’re looking for individuals with compassion, good communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
