You will be a people person, who is passionate about social justice and ensuring our residents receive the best quality support whilst they live in our housing. You will have demonstratable skills in advocacy ensuring our residents are able to access all the services they need and are entitled to. This sometimes will mean pushing people to help, sometimes when they don’t want to, but should. Fighting for the rights of our residents is a key part of who we are and you will be supported through your journey with us.

Do you have a good understanding of the harm caused by alcohol and drug use to adults, young people, children, families and society and a sympathetic approach to people who misuse them? Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with? Then join us as a Recovery Support Worker.
 
Right now, one of our partners, Aquarius Action Projects, is looking for a Support Worker to join their team. Based in the East Midlands, Aquarius helps people overcome the harm caused by alcohol, drugs and gambling. They work closely with individuals, families and friends to lessen the impact caused by the behaviour of a loved one. But it’s only possible with the help of people like you.

Your challenge? To provide advice, support, advocacy and key work for recovery plans and undertake elements of assessment and case management as directed. You’ll work not only from Aquarius offices, but also in primary care, arrest referral, hospital and youth settings and other outreach settings as required. And, all the while, we’ll expect you to operate in a way that recognises and values diversity and understands the functional model of substance misuse, the Recovery Agenda and the problems caused by alcohol and drug misuse.

 Preferably with a NVQ 2/3 in Social Care, or willing to attain this, you are used to working to policy and procedural requirements that include child protection, vulnerable adults, confidentiality and health & safety. We’ll also be looking for good written and verbal communication skills and the ability to maintain accurate records and fulfil data requirements. A flexible approach is important too, as is commitment to taking a client centred approach to providing services and working in a way that recognises and values diversity.

 The salary for this post is £16,778.00 - £18,160.00 dependant upon experience.

 This post is offered as a full-time, permanent post requiring the post-holder to work 37 hours per week.
