You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning
journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve
your long-term goals and work to your strengths.
Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or
to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner at
Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.
### Role Responsibility
Recovery workers act as ‘key workers’ to a caseload of service users,
supporting them to decide their goals around treatment and develop plans to
achieve these. The role includes maintaining regular contact with your
clients, offering advice, information and psycho-social interventions as well
as providing assessments, risk management planning and working closely with
our clinical staff around prescribing needs and partner agencies. No day is
the same in this role but an ability to communicate effectively with a range
or service users and colleagues, an ability to manage different tasks and a
commitment to Turning Point values are essential. You may have lived
experience of substance usemental healthhomelessness (self or a significant
other), come with experience supporting people in health and social care or
just have a keen interest in supporting this group; if your values are right,
we have a role for everyone.
### The Ideal Candidate
You’ll have an understanding of substance and alcohol use and the challenges
and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey. However, we also
recognise that many people have transferrable skills from other backgrounds
such as mental health, housing or other health and social care provision. The
roles are varied, so flexibility, an ability to work dynamically on a one to
one and group basis and knowledge of relapse and other barriers to recovery
will be vital but we can help to shape these skills where needed. We also look
for candidates with excellent communication skills and who share our values as
an organisation. We value individuals with lived experience but also those who
are just interested in this line of work; our Trainee Recovery Worker program
enables individuals without all relevant experience to gain an entry level
position within the organisation before moving on to other roles.
We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you
will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of
our services and the service user experience. Your ideas will be listened to
and your suggestions implemented wherever possible. You will be supported in
your role by extensive training to help develop your skills. Our learning
culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their
field and helps drive service improvement.
### 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.
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.
