We are a national social justice charity with more than 50 years’ experience of changing lives, building stronger communities and reducing crime. Last year alone we helped support, house, educate, advise and speak out for 38,000 disadvantaged young people and adults - and you could now help us make an even bigger impact going forward.

Nacro is the lead partner in the Recovery Near You partnership, a large and vibrant integrated substance misuse service covering the Wolverhampton area. Recovery near you has been recognised as being a front runner in providing safe and comprehensive care throughout the Covid Pandemic, and we are currently moving from virtual to face to face interventions. It is also an evolving service so you will be joining us at an exciting time where lots of new initiatives are being commissioned.

RNY works closely with commissioners to provide quality care across a range of settings such as GP surgeries, Criminal Justice settings, community-based hubs, New Cross Hospital, pharmacies, outreach work on street walks, and at two key hubs: the Treatment hub, and the Recovery hub. There is also a young person's team that currently sits within the treatment hub that goes out to schools and family homes to support young people.

We are currently in search of a Support Worker to work within our Recovery Near You substance misuse service based in a busy Recovery Hub. The primary focus of the role is to support service users to reach their goals in line with a recovery focus embedded service, using all treatment interventions and planning methods, available and applicable.

**Duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to**:

- Caseload management of service users in recovery.
- Working with service users on opiate substitute therapy medications.
- Working with service users who may be abstinent from alcohol or drinking at reduced levels.
- Potential to facilitate some recovery focused group work.
- Provide outreach cover at 'community hubs' in various locations around Wolverhampton.

Who are we looking for?
- Experience working with vulnerable adults/marginalized cohorts is desirable, could be experience within housing, mental health, criminal justice settings, education, hostel work, or other social care provisions
- (Voluntary experience is welcomed as part of the requirements.)
- Good time management skills
- Good IT Skills
- An NVQ in health and social care is desirable but not essential.
- Some level of drug and alcohol awareness is desirable.
- Ability to care plan effectively.
- Understanding of motivational tools and ability to support service users to make positive lifestyle changes.
- Compassionate and non-judgmental approach that seeks to find solutions for service users and promotes empowerment.
