As part of a newly funded initiative to offer an innovative, multi-disciplinary approach to meet the needs of substance using individuals that engage with the Criminal Justice Pathway in Islington we are looking to recruit key roles to join Better Lives substance misuse service. These posts are designed to offer a responsive and proactive approach to working with this client group and improving their health, wellbeing and offending behaviour, and to further develop the existing pathway offered by the service. This post will be an active member of the Better Lives team and also take a proactive, outward facing role in building working relationships with our partners in Criminal Justice Services such as Police, Probation, Courts and Prisons. Better Lives is a busy multi-disciplinary team providing a range of interventions for drug and alcohol using clients in Islington. We have an existing Criminal Justice specialism, and this role seeks to build on that work to increase capacity and responsiveness to working with this client group.

The aim of this post and the team it is part of is to improve collaboration and joint working arrangements between prison healthcare and community-based treatment services, including in-reach into prison. Its aim is to improve engagement post prison release and increase the likelihood of a prison leaver engaging in treatment and support services in the community.

Early and Effective Interventions
Helping People to live well
Research and Innovation
Keeping our service users, carers and staff safe.
Our cultural pillars are

**We Value each other**: Supporting each other’s wellbeing and development.

**We are empowered**: Taking action and responsibility to do what is best for your services and team

**We keep things simple**: Cutting out bureaucracy when it adds nothing

**We are connected**: Working collaboratively across services and organisations rather than in silos

The team will work jointly with Probation and IOM Officers to increase access and engagement with treatment. They will be flexibly deployed using an assertive outreach approach to work across the full range of criminal justice settings and provide a range of functions including assessments in police custody suites and courts, case management of individuals placed on DRRs/ATRs and those released from prisons. These posts will build treatment capacity by delivering structured psychosocial interventions and this will include in the co-location in relevant settings. This post will be key in developing closer working relations with Probation, court, police and prison to ensure that the substance using offenders they are working with benefit from a closer joint working model.

Additional competencies may be required to fulfil the needs of specific areas and client groups. The post holder will be expected to carry out other duties assigned by their Service Manager, which are appropriate to the professional competences and experience of the post holder.
