Outreach Practitioner

2 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Aquarius Full time

You have an understanding of substance misuse and associated health and social issues and experience of working with young people in an addictions or social care setting.  All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use.
Welcome to Aquarius as an Outreach Practitioner .
Aquarius is part of Waythrough, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence.
We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us.
But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone.
Right now, we're looking for a self-motivated individual to join us at our Adult and Young People's Drug & Alcohol service in Birmingham.
  Your challenge?
To provide advice, assessment, and brief interventions, and deliver group programmes, workshops and training courses.
Practitioners work not only from Aquarius offices but also in schools, universities, arrest referral, hospital and youth settings and other outreach settings.
An energetic and confident self-starter, you have a qualification in health/social care, youth and community care (e.g.
NVQ Level 3 or above, DipSW, Mental Health Nursing, Counselling, Addiction Studies).  Alternatively, we'll consider candidates with experience of working in the substance misuse field with a commitment to complete NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care.
As well as good knowledge of alcohol/drug and health related issues, you're used to liaising with voluntary and statutory agencies and health professionals and comfortable engaging with clients in a variety of service delivery settings.
What's more, you have a flexible approach, a commitment to the principles of confidentiality and fulfil data requirements.
As this role involves travel to various settings within the community, a driving licence and access to a care is desirable.
This is a permanent, full-time role requiring the post-holder to work 37 hours a week.
We are committed to increasing our diversity and we would welcome applications from those with lived experience and/or anyone from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic group.
?This is a rolling recruitment process.
Candidates will be interviewed as and when they are shortlisted.
Learning and development is important to us, and we are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of apprenticeships.
We hire apprentices into specific roles as well as offering apprenticeships to the workforce.
Anyone can apply to undertake an apprenticeship relevant to the role as long as they are in a permanent post and have successfully passed probation.
Aquarius was a subsidiary of Richmond Fellowship, with both organisations being part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence.
On 1st June 2024 Richmond Fellowship merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we've all known has been needed for decades.
At the same time, Aquarius became a subsidiary of Humankind, with no impact to terms and conditions of employment.
In October 2024, Humankind was renamed Waythrough to reflect the new organisation, of which Aquarius will remain a subsidiary.
