Croydon, London, United Kingdom VIA Full time

How you can help

This role would be ideal for someone looking to develop their experience in the drug and alcohol field. While some knowledge of the sector is desirable, we are looking for people who have a passion for the work that we do. A positive attitude and the desire to learn are essential, as is a non-judgmental and supportive approach to people who are facing problems with drugs and alcohol.

Volunteer Recovery Practitioners are a vital part of our services and help with a wide range of care and support.

This can look like:

  • Advising service users on drug awareness, overdose prevention, safer injecting, safer sex practices and other harm minimisation advice.
  • Assisting with the Capital Card reward scheme for service users.
  • Supporting practitioners with a caseload of service users. This may involve working one-to-one with service users and co-facilitating groups.
  • Assisting service users to access wider services, including completing referrals to onward agencies.

    In addition to the above you will be expected to participate in team meetings where relevant and to carry out other tasks as deemed necessary to support the needs of the service.
