1 month ago


Hereford, Herefordshire, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time
Job Introduction

Please Note:
A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an Essential Requirement.

Interviews will take place on 30th August


The Herefordshire Recovery Service works across the county to support people with alcohol or other drugs use, including people struggling with their mental health, housing, and those who are involved with criminal justice.


We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our team as an Advanced Recovery Practitioner (Mental Health Practitioner) to support our work to improve access to treatment and enhance the quality of service delivery.

We are seeking people to join our team and help us deliver our vision to provide new opportunities to vulnerable people.

This role sits within our Alcohol & Non-Opiate Team and will work in close partnership with local mental health services and the hospital.


As an Advanced Recovery Practitioner within the Herefordshire Recovery Service, you will make a real difference as you empower and enable people to change.

Passionate about people, you will enjoy support to enhance your own life too, as you make the role your own in a friendly and multidisciplinary team.


As an Advanced Recovery Practitioner we offer a starting salary of £27,300 rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £31,937 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.

Role Responsibility


The Advanced Recovery Practitioner acts as 'key worker' to a caseload of service users with complex needs, supporting them to develop plans to achieve their goals, maintaining regular contact with clients, offering advice, information and psycho-social interventions as well as providing person-led assessments, risk management planning and working closely with in-house clinical staff and partner agencies.


No day is the same in this role, so an ability to communicate effectively with a range of service users and colleagues, an ability to manage a busy schedule and a commitment to Turning Point values is essential.

You may have lived experience of substance use or come with experience of supporting people in health and social care, or hold a professional qualification such as social work, nursing or Health and Social Care.


You will join an established, multi-disciplinary team of recovery workers, clinicians, volunteers, and peer mentors and be encouraged to work alongside a range of partners in criminal justice, housing and health and social care.


As an Advanced Recovery Practitioner, you will support service users to engage in treatment, offering one-to-one support via key working appointments, and delivering workshops to help people gain new skills and understanding.

Holding a case load, you will ensure a personalised care package is offered, and service users are provided with harm reduction advice, access to treatment and testing, and support them to achieve their recovery goals.

You will work in partnership with other agencies to ensure a truly holistic treatment offer for all our service users.

The Ideal Candidate


You will have a substantial understanding of drug and alcohol use and the challenges and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey, we also welcome people with lived experience although this is not essential.

You will have a background in Psychology or Counselling, with relevant recognised qualifications.


The role is 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.

We also look for candidates with excellent communication skills who share our values as an organisation.

You will need to be proactive and able to engage with a range of partner agencies to help meet the needs of service users, as well as paying close attention to detail to maintain case notes and monitor interventions.


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.

Someone with local knowledge of the county will be an advantage but not essential.

You will be required to travel across the county so being a car owner, having access to a vehicle, or having a valid UK driving licence will be essential.
