Job Introduction Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle in an Essential Requirement. Do you want to help build a brighter future for communities and individuals in Taunton doing a highly rewarding job. Turning Point's drug & alcohol services are currently expanding during a really exciting time in the sector with new funding and investment. We're currently recruiting into our Rough Sleeper provision, targeting homeless individuals, offering a flexible and outreach response to highly vulnerable individuals sleeping rough or living in temporary accommodation. As a Rough Sleepers Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £25,870 rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £30,265 per year. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting 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 Recovery Workers will manage pathways to effectively place service users into detox/rehab centres. Once placed, they will continuously liaise with key workers to track service users' journey and progress. They will also support effective discharge coordination from the detox/rehabilitation process. This post will provide assertive engagement and coordinate on-going support post residential rehabilitation or reengage the individual into structured treatment following a failed rehabilitation to avoid rough sleeping and improve outcomes. As a result, the role will reduce the pressure of completing the rehab process by removing the risk of sleeping rough if the rehabilitation process ends early. For successful treatment episodes further step down is required, this post will carry out a full comprehensive & holistic assessment and work with the voluntary sector and statutory services to meet on-going needs with regards to mental/physical health, income maximisation, domestic abuse and safeguarding to prevent relapse. 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.

Job Introduction Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle in an Essential Requirement. Do you want to help build a brighter future for communities and individuals in Taunton doing a highly rewarding job. Turning Point's drug & alcohol services are currently expanding during a really exciting time in the sector with new funding and investment. We're currently recruiting into our Rough Sleeper provision, targeting homeless individuals, offering a flexible and outreach response to highly vulnerable individuals sleeping rough or living in temporary accommodation. As a Rough Sleepers Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £25,870 rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to £30,265 per year. (Dependent on experience you may be offered a starting 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 Recovery Workers will manage pathways to effectively place service users into detox/rehab centres. Once placed, they will continuously liaise with key workers to track service users' journey and progress. They will also support effective discharge coordination from the detox/rehabilitation process. This post will provide assertive engagement and coordinate on-going support post residential rehabilitation or reengage the individual into structured treatment following a failed rehabilitation to avoid rough sleeping and improve outcomes. As a result, the role will reduce the pressure of completing the rehab process by removing the risk of sleeping rough if the rehabilitation process ends early. For successful treatment episodes further step down is required, this post will carry out a full comprehensive & holistic assessment and work with the voluntary sector and statutory services to meet on-going needs with regards to mental/physical health, income maximisation, domestic abuse and safeguarding to prevent relapse. 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.
