**About The Role**
As a result of our service being re-commissioned for a further 8 years, we currently have an exciting opportunity working as part of our HOPE team. HOPE stands for Health Outreach Prevention and Engagement.
- This position sits at the front door of treatment and the post holder will be the first point of contact for those individuals within the community who are at risk of harm to health and/or being involved with the criminal justice system or have found themselves having committed a crime related to substance misuse.
- You will work within the community, proactively engaging service users who may need support; as well as working closely with other agencies, including Community Mental Health Teams, Housing Providers, GPs, Prisons, Police, and the National Probation Service.
- The purpose of this post is to identify the best treatment for our service users from the very first contact they make with REACH drug and alcohol service in Dorset. There is a specific focus on engaging people in the interventions designed to reduce risk taking substance misuse behaviour, building trust and increasing the motivation to make changes that lead to long term recovery.
- **As a first point of contact worker, you will also**:

- Reduce the feeling of repetition and confusion for people contacting us and deliver a ‘no wrong door’ message by signposting and guiding individuals to the support available from our partners in Dorset.
- Build and develop relationships with partner organisations including those involved in the criminal justice system in Dorset.
- Learn to make accurate appraisal of needs using strengths-based language, assessing immediate risks and managing expectations.
- Utilise a trauma sensitive, warm, and non-judgmental approach to develop a strong collaborative therapeutic alliance; genuinely hearing, accepting, and responding to people’s stories.
