**Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an Essential Requirement.**

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Turning Point’s Leicester Substance Misuse Service as a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker. Within the role you will focus on partnership working with Leicester Police to engage those arrested with drug and alcohol issues into treatment and deliver brief interventions to those receiving Police cautions and other out-of-court disposals. Your passion and engagement at this early stage will make a real difference in preventing escalation in substance misuse and offending.

As a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £23k rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £27k per year.

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Misuse Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.

**Role Responsibility**:
As a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker you will base yourself within the Police stations within Leicester, as well as spending some time in our City Centre based office. When individuals are arrested for drug and alcohol related offending you will see them in the custody suite, delivering brief interventions and engaging them into treatment.

You will also be the lead Recovery Worker for our Out of Court Disposals. Similar to ‘speed awareness sessions,’ you will deliver between one and six sessions predominantly in groups (including online groups) aiming to prevent escalation in substance use and offending.

Day-to-day you will work alongside an Advanced Practitioner, another Recovery Worker and an administrator under the guidance of our Criminal Justice Team Leader. You will also work very closely with Police and NHS Liaison and Diversion colleagues within the custody suites.

A driving licence and car access is essential and you will be required to use your own car to travel between sites on a daily basis (expenses will be provided.) The ability to gain Police clearance is also an essential requirement for this role. The role will also require flexibility in working hours including some evening and weekend working as required for the role.
