* Are you an Employability Practitioner or someone who has experience in providing 1-1 support? Are you looking for a new challenge or believe you have the transferable skills to support individuals to fulfil their employment goals?

* Do you understand the importance of work and the vital role it can play in the lives of those with Substance Misuse?

If you answered ‘yes’ to either of the above, then we would love to hear from you.
