Family Worker

3 weeks ago


Sutton, United Kingdom The Forward Trust Full time

**What you will be doing?**:
Family work is part of the Recovery Support Department. The Family strategy has been designed around Forward’s own research, a series of focus groups with clients at a number of units, and our own experience and learning in the units. This has indicated an overriding feeling from clients that ‘Families don’t understand addiction, what we do in treatment or
understand prison’. This evidences clients’ mindfulness with regard to the vital need for information for families and friends and how they feel their own recovery journeys will benefit positively from their families involvement and education.

Our Family Work Strategy has been devised on the basis of a thorough needs assessment, informed by available research both from within the field and across the organisation itself.

The strategy aims to include both clients and their families as part of Forward’s treatment programmes; ensuring that there are separate and distinct pathways for each, which will naturally merge and overlap, enabling us to utilise the joint involvement of family members and CSOs where appropriate and feasible.

To ensure a successful family work framework across the organisation we must fully understand the level of need and in turn gain a sense of the preferred interventions for families and CSO’s. In view of this, it has been decided that we shall begin to deliver an initial range of interventions we feel will be most useful and most practical for the teams to use in both prison and community projects.

The Family Worker Coordinator in head office will support the continuity of the strategy across the organisation.

**What we are looking for?**:
**Skills and Experience**:
Experience of providing support services to families
Flexibility to meet the needs of the service as it develops.
A positive problem solving approach with the ability to focus on key issues quickly and clearly.
Effective negotiating and influencing skills.
Previous experience of developing and implementing service improvements.
The ability to engage effectively with the client group.
Understanding of the voluntary sector.
Understanding of and sensitivity to diversity and equality issues.
Working knowledge of using Microsoft office packages and databases.
Commitment to 12 steps interventions and treatment approach.
Knowledge of the use of database monitoring systems.
Experience of overseeing the collection, recording and collating of information, including statistical data, for audit, research and reporting purposes.
Experience of developing and delivering training/workshops
A thorough understanding of Service user led support groups and their role in maintaining ongoing recovery.

**Qualifications**:
Possession of a recognised counse counselling qualification, or ongoing attendance on a recognised counselling course.
