London, United Kingdom We Are With You Full time

If you have a compassionate nature and a genuine desire to help others, you could be just what we're looking for.

As a Recovery Worker you will be providing support and advice to people who are experiencing difficulties due to substance misuse. You will have your own caseload, working as part of our team and alongside other social care services to identify how we can help. You will develop plans with your clients to help them get their lives back to where they want them to be.

We are determined and always professional in our approach to each and every case and we never judge, we're just here to help.

There will be assessments to carry out and records you need to keep and update, that's all part of our professional commitment and service to our clients and commissioners.

This is an exciting time to join the Wandsworth Community Drug and Alcohol Service (WCDAS), working for We Are With You alongside our consortium partners; SLaM NHS Trust, St Mungo’s and CDARS. We are recruiting for a Recovery Worker based at our Battersea service.

The service is located close to the high street and local amenities, and less than a ten minute walk from the local train station, Clapham Junction.

We are currently recruiting for three Full-Time Recovery Workers. The right person should be a self-starter, enthusiastic, motivated, caring and creative ideally with experience of working in a substance misuse environment.

You will be working within a highly skilled and knowledgeable multi-disciplinary team who will support you in your development and your ability to deliver the best care you can to our service users. We're looking for someone who is also able to maintain a network of local partner agencies to support and contribute to service user recovery capital and engagement.
