Wakefield, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

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

**Part Time Role: 19.5 Hours per week**

At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with substance misuse issues. As a Young Persons Recovery Worker in Wakefield, you’ll work with our various agencies (e.g. Social Care, CAMHS and Schools) to help make a difference to the lives of young people in the community.

Working in a variety of settings, you’ll develop personal, flexible and realistic support packages based on people’s individual circumstances. In this busy role, no two days will be the same as you manage an interesting caseload without compromising on quality. This is a wide and varied role, which give you challenges and opportunities daily.

As a Young Persons Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £24,150 with annual pay progression up to £28,252 (Pro-rata) (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting salary above the initial starting salary).

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**:
Working side-by-side with your own caseload of service users, you’ll coordinate individual treatment journeys and offer the people-centred care they come to us for. That means you’ll also build relationships with families and professionals to make sure each person gets the right care for their needs.

Ultimately, this role is about supporting young people to make the changes the individual wishes to make to their substance misuse, so you’ll develop strength-based recovery plans, complete risk assessments and identify opportunities for service users to get involved in their communities.

The role of Young Persons Recovery Worker is a fast-paced one; this means plenty of variety and challenges too so you’ll need to approach things methodically and think on your feet.

As the role can be out and about, there is an expectation that you will manage your own diary to make the best use of your time. Within the role there is some lone working so you have to be comfortable with working alone - although the rest of the team is only a phone call away.

You will have strong IT skills as you will be expected to input data and keep your case files up to date.

Building on your previous experience of working with under 25’s you’ll have the ability engage clients quickly, to co-ordinate and complete care plans and assessments, possess some knowledge of substance misuse issues and ideally, have a relevant qualification and you must have a driving license and access to a car.

Highly motivated and driven to make a real difference, your work ethic will be strong too - as will your written and verbal communication skills. Above all, we’re looking for an individual with commitment and integrity to deliver services to young people in Wakefield.
