About Wandsworth Family Safeguarding Project

As one of only 16 authorities implementing the Family Safeguarding model nationally and the first in London, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative, co
- located, specialist team in Wandsworth.

Family Safeguarding aims to keep families together, where it is safe to do so, through a more collaborative way of working where parents are motivated to identify the changes needed within their own families. Specialist support provided from a range of agencies will address parental mental health, parental substance misuse and domestic abuse which are major contributing factors that put children at risk of significant harm.

This is an exciting time to join the Wandsworth Community Drug and Alcohol Service (WCDAS), working for We Are With You alongside our partners; SLaM NHS Trust, St Mungo’s and CDARS as well as Wandsworth Children’s Services. We are recruiting a number of roles to be based in Wandsworth within our innovative, new Family Safeguarding Project supporting service users across the borough.

This post will form part of a brand-new specialist, multi-disciplinary team, which includes Psychologists, Children Social Workers, Substance misuse and Domestic Abuse Workers. The work involves engaging parents with substance misuse issues, assessment of risk stemming from these difficulties and their bearing on individuals’ parenting capability, assisting and enabling accessing suitable treatment and interventions, as well as fostering ongoing adherence with treatment.

The successful postholder will also receive specialist training related to Family Safeguarding.

What we’re looking for

We are currently looking for a Recovery Worker with experience of working within a substance misuse setting to join our expanding service in the London borough of Wandsworth, where we work as a consortium with SLaM NHS Trust, St Mungos and CDARS.
- You must have experience of working or volunteering within the Substance Misuse and voluntary sector.
- A self-starter, someone with a drive to develop professionally and to motivate and inspire development in others.
- Someone with exceptional team working drive but also able to work on own initiative and independently.
- Able to establish and maintain a network of local partner agencies to support and contribute to SU recovery capital and engagement.
About the role:

- To provide support, information and advice to individuals in relation to substance misuse and/or a specialism in family safeguarding.
- To improve access to appropriate services for service users with substance misuse issues.
- To communicate the organisation’s vision and deliver its mission, corporate strategy and business plans.
- Deliver continuity of care through effective partnership working, care coordination, delivery of interventions and key work responsibilities.
- Support the day to day operation of services through the delivery of appropriate evidence based interventions.
- Manage an active caseload providing structured brief interventions and/or other psychosocial and pharmacotherapy interventions in compliance with our delivery model.
- Assist in the delivery of an integrated service through the provision of assessment, recovery planning, appropriate referral, support, care coordination and interventions (e.g. psychosocial, pharmacotherapy, harm reduction).
- Assess service users, carrying out triage and comprehensive assessment as required and making appropriate onward referrals to specialist agencies.
- Co-produce, monitor and review recovery care plans within and between services to ensure service user’s needs are met.
- Assess and manage risk ensuring a safe and appropriate environment for all through active risk prevention.
- Develop and disseminate substance misuse information and give advice on health & social well being in both groups and one to one settings.
- Screen for substance use in line with organisational guidelines and taking appropriate follow up actions.
- Support colleagues, volunteers, recovery champions and sessional workers providing advice and guidance, as appropriate, ensuring care standards are maintained and service users receive the most appropriate care. This includes supervision of volunteer, recovery champion and student/trainee duties.
