TLC: Talk Listen, Change is seeking an engagement worker to conduct individual sessions and group work with adults who are using harm and are seeking to change their harmful behaviours. In this role, you will be part of a broader partnership that delivers a range of interventions to support individuals, families, and the wider community. Your work will focus on helping clients reduce harmful behaviours and work towards safer, healthier lifestyles, and ensure clients are supported for other complex needs within a partnership approach. You will use your skills and experience to train other professionals to have challenging conversations with people who use harmful behaviours to support other services and families.

The role

As an Engagement Worker, you’ll play a crucial role in transforming the lives of adults who are using harm by helping them address and change harmful behaviours. You’ll identify their challenges and work to create actionable plans for improvement, collaborating with various agencies to connect them to the resources they need.

Are you a compassionate leader who excels in supporting adults and those who want to address their harmful behaviours? We’re seeking someone who can confidently deliver tailored programmes and are skilled at managing interactions in both one-on-one and group settings. In group scenarios, you're a team player who works alongside colleagues to model prosocial behaviour and foster a supportive environment. You've demonstrated your ability to build trust with clients and are unafraid to confront challenging or harmful behaviours directly.

Ideally, you have experience working with adults in a therapeutic setting and have a strong background in managing safeguarding concerns. You’re adept at navigating conflict and consistently bring a positive, solution-focused attitude to your work.

If you have experience supporting individuals with complex needs or are multilingual, we’re especially interested in hearing from you.
