Community Engagement Specialist (Motivator)
Are you dedicated to making a difference in people's lives and seeking a rewarding opportunity?

We are Forward Trust, a social enterprise with charitable status focused on empowering individuals to overcome the interconnected challenges of crime and addiction, enabling them to progress in their lives.

Our initiatives have positively impacted countless individuals, helping them to foster meaningful changes and establish fulfilling lives enriched with employment, relationships, and a sense of belonging.

  • Background in substance misuse services
  • Experience in conducting thorough assessments, risk management plans, and developing SMART care plans
  • Ability to communicate in multiple languages is a plus but not essential
  • Access to training and development opportunities
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Optional Simply Health Cashback Scheme
Additional Benefits:
* £90 Monthly External Therapy Allowance

  • Season Ticket Loan Scheme
  • Cycle to Work Scheme
  • Crisis Loan Scheme
  • Electric Car Scheme
* 3 Wellbeing Days (pro-rated for part-time employees)
* 25 days of Annual Leave (increasing to 30 with length of service) plus Bank Holidays
