Leicester, United Kingdom Turning Point Full time

Job Introduction

Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an Essential Requirement.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Turning Point’s Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Substance Use Services as a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker. Within the role you will focus on partnership working with Leicestershire Police to engage those arrested with drug and alcohol issues into treatment and deliver brief interventions to those receiving Police cautions and other out-of-court disposals. Your passion and engagement at this early stage will make a real difference in preventing escalation in substance use and offending.

Starting salary £24,150 with annual pay progression up to £28,252 (Dependent on experience you may be offered a salary above the initial starting salary)

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.

Role Responsibility

As a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker you will work flexibly across Leicestershire supporting individuals who are arrested for drug and alcohol related offending. You will see them in the custody suite, delivering brief interventions and engaging them into treatment.

You will also be the lead Recovery Worker for our Out of Court Disposals. Similar to ‘speed awareness sessions,’ you will deliver between one and six sessions predominantly in groups (including online groups) aiming to prevent escalation in substance use and offending.

Day-to-day you will work alongside an Advanced Practitioner, another Recovery Worker and an administrator under the guidance of our Criminal Justice Team Leader. You will also work very closely with Police and NHS Liaison and Diversion colleagues within the custody suites. 

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be a highly effective communicator, efficient and organised and have a real passion for supporting service users to engage in treatment. You must be engaging, enthusiastic and passionate, have a keen interest in the Criminal Justice System and willingness to work with offenders to help turn their lives around is a must.

A driving licence and car access is essential and you will be required to use your own car to travel between sites on a daily basis (expenses will be provided.) The ability to gain Police clearance is also an essential requirement for this role. The role will also require flexibility in working hours including some evening and weekend working as required for the role.
