StokeonTrent, Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom We Are With You Full time

If you have a compassionate nature and a genuine desire to help others, you could be just what we're looking for.


As a Recovery Worker you will be providing support and advice to people who are experiencing difficulties due to substance misuse.

You will have your own caseload, working as part of our team and alongside other social care services to identify how we can help.

You will develop plans with your clients to help them get their lives back to where they want them to be.


We are determined and always professional in our approach to each and every case and we never judge, we're just here to help.


There will be assessments to carry out and records you need to keep and update, that's all part of our professional commitment and service to our clients and commissioners.

Our Stoke Community Drug and Alcohol service are looking for an individual to join our Prevention and Engagement team.

The role will be working with our partner agencies in community and outreach venues to engage service users into treatment.

- keeping accurate and timely records of your contact with them
- working effectively with other social care providers e.g. Housing, to cover all aspects of their successful recovery
- continuously learning and reflecting to improve the outcomes for your clients
- supporting your colleagues across the service to deliver excellent care

REQUIRED SKILLS:

DESIRABLE SKILLS:

- knowledge of health and safety, including assessing client in high-risk situations

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Everyone should feel comfortable getting the support they need for issues with drugs, alcohol or mental health.


At We Are With You we work with people on their own goals, whether that's staying safe and healthy, making small changes or stopping an unwanted habit altogether.

We give people support in a way that's right for them either face to face in their local service, community or online.

We provide a free and confidential service without judgement to more than 100,000 people a year.


We use our expertise to improve the help available and raise awareness around drugs, alcohol and mental health so that more people can get support.
