You will be responsible for developing strength-based recovery plans with families that are comprehensive, family-centred, and provide a wide range of solution-focused interventions that deliver clear positive outcomes for families. Excellent communication skills and a professional qualification would be advantageous. We provide extensive training to develop your understanding and skills, and we are willing to invest in the right candidates for the role.

The Ideal Candidate

You may have experience in the substance use sector or transferable skills and be looking for a change. Having handled a significant caseload in a busy environment, you will have an understanding of substance use and the recovery agenda. You will need to be highly motivated with big ambitions and even bigger potential. Ability to travel around Oxfordshire, including some rural settings, would be advantageous, with access to your own transport preferred.
