You will work collaboratively to enable them to achieve objectives set for their time in our service as well as capturing and communicating information relating to their safety and risk.
- You will also play a key role in delivering our programme of holistic support for people with significant substance use and wellbeing needs. We provide a range of interventions and activities which are collectively designed to ensure that each individual can engage in a treatment plan that meets their needs, with options including CBT based group work, physical exercise programmes, mindfulness based activities, mutual aid support groups, and diversionary activities.

- Assess suitability for community sentencing options of Drug Rehabilitation Requirement and Alcohol Activity Requirement, and report the outcome of the assessment to HM Courts and Tribunal Service and the National Probation Service.
- Contribute to ongoing risk assessment to help mitigate risks and improve safety to the people we support, their networks and the wider community. This is a collaborative process to include the people we support and partnership agencies.
- Organise your diary to plan face to face appointments, outreach appointments and attendance of meetings.
- Accurately record case notes on internal data bases and prepare reports to feedback progress of the people we support to HM Courts and Tribunal Service and the National Probation Service.
- Work collaboratively with the Dyfodol clinical team to complete urine screening drug testing and to look at options for substitute prescribing where appropriate.
- Following training, undertake routine testing for blood borne viruses to help the people we support to access treatment when needed.

**THE IDEAL CANDIDATE**:

- With excellent communication and interpersonal skills you will have the ability to work in a non judgemental manner with the people who have offended. To be able to prioritise your own workload whilst demonstrating high levels of resilience.
