About Via in Surrey

The Via Surrey service – HIDC, is focussed on engaging and developing sustained contact with adult High Impact Complex Drinkers’ within the community. The service provided is flexible and adaptable, ensuring that those most in need can access support. A key component of this engagement and support service is that there are no fixed time limited interventions and/or thresholds which could impact service user engagement.

About the role

As a Volunteer Recovery Practitioner, you will support the delivery of a wide range of interventions for service users. These will include:

  • Advising service users on alcohol awareness and harm minimisation advice
  • Supporting practitioners in the completion of service-user assessments and follow-up assessments. (Please note you will not be asked to carry out initial assessments)
  • Supporting practitioners with a caseload of service users. This will involve meeting with service users in their one homes with a recovery practitioner.
  • Assisting service users to access wider services, including completing referrals to onward agencies

In addition to the above you will be expected to participate in team meetings where relevant and to carry out other tasks as deemed necessary to support the needs of the service.

What skills do I need?

The role would be ideal for someone looking to develop their experience in the drug and alcohol field. While some knowledge of the sector is desirable, we are specifically looking for people who have a passion for the work that we do. A positive attitude and the desire to learn are essential, as is a non-judgemental and supportive approach to people who are facing problems with drugs and alcohol.

What Via can offer you

When you begin volunteering you will be allocated a volunteer supervisor who will act as your main point of contact in your service. They will provide you with ongoing support and supervision and will work closely with you throughout your time at Via. There is also a central volunteer services team that will support you while you are on placement.

In addition, you can expect:

  • A full induction to your role and continuous local training
  • Access to central staff training opportunities
  • Regular supervision
  • Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses and lunch expenses
