Job Introduction

Fixed Term Contract - Up to 12 Months

At Turning Point, we support people across England with substance misuse issues. We currently have a vacancy in Slough (START) as a Criminal Justice Outreach Recovery Worker where you can make a real difference to peoples' lives.

Role Responsibility

As a Criminal Justice Outreach Recovery worker you will manage a caseload of clients, undertake assessments, develop person centred recovery plans and support them to turn things around. You will work closely with rough sleepers, vulnerable and complex clients who struggle to engage in treatment and in turn help reduce crime in the Borough. You will be required to work in partnership with police, courts, probation and prison establishments and support clients in these venues.

The Ideal Candidate

A track record of CQC compliance and knowledge of relapse and other barriers to recovery will be vital. An understanding of substance misuse and the Recovery Agenda is essential. It is important to have excellent communication skills and the ability to manage a varied and demanding role.

A full UK Driving License and access to a vehicle is not essential but desirable.
