Role Responsibility

To assist in delivering Turning Point’s Substance Use strategy by planning and providing high quality, innovative care which reflects our person-centred values and the high levels of ambition we have for the recovery of the individuals for whom we provide support.

Key Responsibilities:

To deliver Hospital in-reach to A&E departments, medical wards and GI wards. Contribute to the development of after care packages in conjunction with the Hospital Alcohol and Drug Liaison Nurses prior to hospital discharge. To contribute to the development of seamless care pathways for continuation of detoxification regimes where these are initiated in hospital and are appropriate to continue in the community. To complete assessments, provide early engagement, advice and brief interventions for those identified as having substance use support needs by Hospital Drug and Alcohol liason nurses and develop packages of care within the community To work with families / significant others of those identified as having drug and alcohol support needs upon release from hospital to maximise social recovery capital and to support families / significant others. To involve them in recovery plans where possible. Work flexibly in a variety of settings to create care and support plans that meet the needs of the service and clients in accordance with the recovery agenda

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll have an understanding of substance and alcohol use and the challenges and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey. However, we also recognise that many people have transferrable skills from other backgrounds such as mental health, housing or other health and social care provision. The roles are varied, so flexibility, an ability to work dynamically on a one to one and group basis and knowledge of relapse and other barriers to recovery will be vital but we can help to shape these skills where needed. We also look for candidates with excellent communication skills and who share our values as an organisation. We value individuals with lived experience but also those who are just interested in this line of work; our Trainee Recovery Worker program enables individuals without all relevant experience to gain an entry level position within the organisation before moving on to other roles.

We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of our services and the service user experience. Your ideas will be listened to and your suggestions implemented wherever possible. You will be supported in your role by extensive training to help develop your skills. Our learning culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their field and helps drive service improvement.
