Employment Project Worker – Criminal Justice / Mental Health / Substance Misuse

Please Note: The application deadline for this job has now passed.

Job Introduction

As a leading provider of social and support services, we believe everyone should have the chance to achieve their ambitions – whether that’s our Employment Project Workers, or the offenders we support in prisons and in the community. We do everything possible to help people unlock their potential – including empowering our Specialist Project Workers to help these hard-to-reach groups get their lives back on track. 

Location - East Midlands (Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester) 

Role Responsibility

Enjoying the chance to travel across the region, you’ll join a small team focused on supporting offenders to address substance misuse and/ or emotional wellbeing issues. Working ‘through-the-gate’, your role will be as crucial as it is varied.  You will build relationships with offenders at prisons across the region, conduct initial assessments and shape action plans designed to give people the best possible new start.

The Ideal Candidate

As an Employment Project Worker you will have well developed numeracy, literacy and IT skills as well as experience and/or knowledge of working with individuals with substance misuse and/or mental health problems.  However, what’s more important is that you’re able to motivate, engage and inspire people to succeed.

Whilst hours are generally 9am-5pm, we’ll expect you to work flexibly. 

A full driving licence and access to a vehicle are also essential requirements for this role.  

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

Across the varied regions, sectors and settings we operate within, our organisation is held together by a shared vision – and our people are connected by the same values. These include belief in potential, confidence in communication, embracing positive change and always treating each other as individuals.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

Our people bring our vision to life. So, if you are enthusiastic, motivated and committed to support others to fulfilling their potential, here at Turning Point, we don't just offer you a job – we offer you a career.

What benefits will I receive?

Of course, we know it's not about the money. But that doesn't mean we don't reward our people for their invaluable work with a benefits package that includes:

  • Comprehensive Learning and Development opportunities - we are Investors in People Silver accredited
  • 28 days holiday, increasing with each year of service until 30 days. Plus the option to purchase additional holidays
  • Flexible benefit options including, bike to work schemes and season ticket loans
