By listening to their needs, creating personalised solutions and looking beyond their health requirements to wider issues such as employment, we are making a real difference to individuals and the communities they belong to. So isn’t it time you joined us?

As a Get Connected Wellbeing 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).

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Misuse Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.

**Role Responsibility**:
We have an exciting opportunity for a Get Connected Wellbeing Worker to support residents, their families and the community around the issues caused by substance misuse. The challenges are substantial. For a start, you will develop flexible and realistic support packages and give practical advice and information to service users, their families and friends, and professionals regarding that support. This will include conducting comprehensive risk and needs assessments, and working collaboratively with social services, GPs and a vast range of community partners to ensure the delivery of effective and recovery focused services. You will also write reports, maintain accurate records and actively promote the rights and responsibilities of service users.

What’s more, you will help improve the resilience, health outcomes, employment prospects and opportunities for service users. You will work with people to enable them to undertake meaningful activity, find purpose and connect to the community though offering employment, training and education, peer mentoring, service user involvement and post treatment support. Another important task will be to guide external agencies on relevant legislation and trends to maximise recovery capital for each of your clients.

This vital role calls for experience in substance misuse and working within integrated, community settings, preferably in a busy urban setting. You will certainly know how to deliver a range of services, treatments and interventions in a person-centred way. This must be supported by strong knowledge of how to identify and support clients through risk, dual diagnosis, safe guarding and child protection issues. You will also need a good understanding of the recovery agenda and of combining medical and psycho-social support tools for maximum effect. Add to all these strengths excellent written and spoken communication skills, and you will quickly make your mark as part of our team.
