Role Responsibility
As a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker, you will act as ‘key workers’ to a caseload of service users who have been involved with the Criminal Justice System.

You may have lived experience of substance misuse/mental health/homelessness (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.
