The service is delivered in partnership with Mind CHWF and London Friend and there is a focus on partnership working throughout the service to support those in the local community who need assistance to achieve their goals. We deliver treatment and support across the neighbourhoods ensuring a holistic and inclusive approach to recovery in this service.
As a Dual Diagnosis Outreach Worker we offer a starting salary of £25,070 rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £29,328 per year + £3,633 ILW. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting salary above the initial starting salary).
