The Role
Phoenix Futures is looking to recruit a passionate and solution-focused Criminal Justice Recovery Worker as part of our Lambeth Service. Working in partnership with SLaM, we aim to increase our support offer for clients involved in the Criminal Justice system who are seeking treatment and support for substance use. You will act as the first point of contact for residents in Lambeth, assessing, engaging, and resettling service users into treatment and other community support services by maximizing their engagement with community services upon release. The role will involve working from criminal justice agencies including prisons, probation offices, outreach, custody suites, the community, and other appropriate settings. The right candidate will help us shape our psychosocial offerings for clients presenting with offending behavior and drug and alcohol issues, including DRR and ATR.
About You
As a Recovery Worker, you will have knowledge of recovery, care planning, and relapse prevention activities, along with the ability to build and maintain relationships with internal and external agencies. You will have experience in group facilitation. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, can work on their own initiative, and, more importantly, as part of a team. Good communication and organizational skills are essential. Successful candidates will be dynamic and forward-thinking with keen insight into preventative and early intervention methods. The ideal candidate will have experience working with vulnerable adults presenting with substance, alcohol, and associated issues, as well as an understanding of the custodial system.
