  • You will support community initiatives which promote recovery.
  • You will use a range of evidence-based tools and techniques for motivating clients.
  • You will develop effective relationships with a range of external organisations and agencies.
  • You need an enhanced level DBS check for this role.

 

What we will offer you in return

  •   An annual salary of £28,770 (NJC SCP 17)
  • A fixed-term, full-time contract until March 2025
  • 25 days holiday, and 30 once you’ve been here five years
  • A relaxed culture where you are expected to plan your own day, take breaks when you need them and enjoy your work
  • Ongoing personal and professional development through regular supervision
  • A supportive, flexible approach to managing staff health and wellbeing, including a wide range of perks, schemes and support.
