**Are you committed to supporting vulnerable people to overcome addiction and take control of their lives?**

We have an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and enthusiastic person to join the Lewisham Supported Housing pathway to support people wo have made a choice to address their relationship with alcohol or substance use addiction.

You would be joining a team committed to providing clients with a safe space in which to develop their understanding of their addiction, to create opportunities for positive change, helping people to build self-confidence, inspire hope and effect genuine and long-lasting change.

As a recovery worker you will hold a small case load, working from a recovery, strengths based and psychologically informed way.

On joining the team, you will be supported to develop the skills and knowledge to deliver our daily Group Recovery Programme to people using our service.

You will provide support and advice; empowering the people we work with to identify and build on their strengths, to set and realise personal goals and reconnect with the wider community.

Recovery Workers work on a shift rota, that includes some evenings, weekends and bank holidays. (Our rota is currently focused on weekday working, with only two weekends every six weeks).

You may have;
- an awareness of the problems faced by people experiencing homelessness or addiction,
- Experience supporting vulnerable individuals through a process of change and assisting them in identifying personal goals.
- Capacity to work under pressure and manage time effectively.
- An eagerness to learn and work with clients in a holistic, person-centered manner.
