### Job Introduction
**Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an
Essential Requirement.**
At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with substance use issues.
Our Herefordshire (West Midlands) Recovery Service responds to the needs of
people across the county, working in locations throughout Herefordshire to
maximise the opportunities for service users.
As a Recovery Worker PSI Facilitator within the Herefordshire Recovery
Service, you’ll make a real difference as you empower and enable people to
change. Passionate about people, you’ll enjoy support to enhance your own life
too, as you make the role your own in a friendly, supportive multidisciplinary
team.
As a Recovery Worker PSI Facilitator we offer a starting salary of £25,116
rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to
£29,383 per year. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting
salary above the initial starting salary).
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 Recovery Practitioner at
Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.
### Role Responsibility
We have an exciting opportunity to support the delivery of our psychosocial
(PSI) group work programme, including our family & carers and aftercare
programmes. The PSI Facilitator will be responsible for delivering several
group sessions, covering a variety of topics, and supporting service users to
move successfully through treatment.
Using evidence-based programmes, you will support people to gain access to
treatment to address their recovery goals. Working with other staff within the
team, you will deliver a range of programmes, including the Managing Alcohol
Programme (MAP), Reclaim for non-opiate users, and the Recovery Skills
Programme (RSP) to support long-term recovery.
You will join a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians, recovery workers and
peer mentors and be required to work alongside a range of partners in criminal
justice, housing and health and social care.
Please note that this role will require regular travel to other hubs as
required, so you will need to have your own vehicle or be willing to use
public transport.
### The Ideal Candidate
You’ll have experience of delivering group work programmes, as well as an
understanding of the theory behind the benefits of group work, and experience
of using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing
(MI) skills to help empower service users to make sustained changes to their
life. Experience of working with people using alcohol and other drugs would be
ideal but training will be offered to learn more about this if necessary. You
will have a passion for leading change and an excellent level of communication
and organisational skills, including robust IT skills.
You’ll understand alcohol and other substance use issues and the challenges
and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey. The role is varied,
so flexibility, an ability to work dynamically on a one-to-one and group
basis, and knowledge of relapse prevention and other skills to promote
recovery will be vital. We actively encourage applications from people with
lived experience.
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.
