Cavdas Peer Support in Treatment Team Leader

6 months ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Recovery Cymru Full time

Background to CAVDAS:
The CAVDAS Alliance brings together the skills, experience and expertise of

three Welsh substance use organisations - Barod, Kaleidoscope and Recovery

Cymru - and the Cardiff and Vale Area Planning Board. CAVDAS was formed to

deliver innovative services based on the needs of the people in Cardiff and Vale.

This unique arrangement for Welsh services allows space for the voices of people

using services to be heard and for their needs to be met in the ways that work

for them. That way, we can continue to further develop services as required.

We exist to make sure every individual can get the support, information and

advice they need regarding their own or someone else’s drug and alcohol use.

We support every age group and people can get in touch with us directly or via a

professional referral. We call this our ‘No wrong door’ approach: however, and

whenever people get in touch about any drug and alcohol concerns, we’ll know

how to help. We believe the best services are produced together with the people

who need them and who have first-hand experience of what works well. This is

how we develop our services and why we have a strong, professional peer

support team who are a very important part of our approach.

The CAVDAS Peer Recovery Team

This role sits within the CAVDAS Peer Recovery Team which seeks to ensure

peer support is available to people accessing CAVDAS at all stages of change and

recovery. The team offers:
- 1:1 peer support
- Groupwork
- Peer support for people accessing treatment services, preparing to access

or at risk of dropping out
- Recovery and aftercare programmes, including a community rehab

programme
- Voices Action Change - coproduction and service user involvement
- Community connections
- Volunteering
- Co-delivery and a pathway to the wider Recovery Community via the

recovery centre

Purpose of the role:
Team leaders develop, manage, and lead teams within CAVDAS, including staff

support and development, to ensure effective service delivery. This is an

exciting new role within the CAVDAS Peer Recovery Team structure that has

arisen from increased need for peer support for people who are at earlier stages

of their recovery and / or treatment journey.

The purpose of this role is to:

- Develop, coordinate, implement and monitor the delivery of peer support

for individuals who are entering or engaging with treatment services, as

well as those who are at risk of disengaging. This will include group and

one to one programme delivery.
- To understand the needs and strengths of people engaging in your team

programmes, implementing strengths based and recovery focussed

approaches and innovations.
- To create effective relationships with partners, particularly those in health

and criminal justice services to create effective joint working and co located support for the people who access or are waiting to access

services.
- To oversee the Voices Action Change project (service use voice and

coproduction project) within CAVDAS
- To understand, champion and support the peer workforce and recovery

community model within CAVDAS and with partners.
- To ensure appropriate planning and allocation of work and organising

rotas. As the area service lead, you will be responsible for implementing

and ensuring adherence to CAVDAS policies, procedures, and protocols

within their delivery focus.
- Provide strong leadership in risk and safeguarding matters

You will work closely with your co-team leader (Peer Recovery and Aftercare)

but will have distinct areas of responsibility and focus. You will be expected to

work as a team and support one another, to ensure seamless and uninterrupted

support for the staff that you both lead and for the benefit of people accessing

peer support. CAVDAS seeks to provide a no wrong door, seamless offer for

people at all stages of their journey and team leaders across CAVDAS are

expected to have a united and collective approach to leading and managing their

teams and programmes of work.

You will be based primarily in CAVDAS treatment centres (St Andrews and

Holton Road), from which you will lead, direct and support a team of peer

workers to support people accessing CAVDAS services. You will also lead on

creating positive working relationships and dynamic joined delivery with key

substance use partners, namely NHS drug and alcohol services, including the

Community Addictions Unit and criminal justice services.

The post holder should be committed to evidence-based practice, sound clinical

governance and continual improvement, and have a desire to firmly embed

these principles within the team.

This is a critical role, implementing the recovery community approach within

CAVDAS treatment services. We have a strong focus on recovery, wellbeing, and

training for our staff, taking our responsibility as an employer seriously.
