Recovery Worker Location: Ashford Salary: £26,000 per annum Vacancy Type: Permanent, Full Time Closing Date: 4th of June 2026 About the Role In this role, you will work within an integrated healthcare framework to support adults experiencing drug and alcohol dependency. You will deliver high-quality, client-centred psychosocial interventions, using both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches tailored to individual needs. You will manage a caseload of service users, carrying out comprehensive assessments, developing SMART care plans, and delivering structured one-to-one and group interventions. Your work will focus on supporting individuals through their recovery journey, improving outcomes, and promoting long-term positive change. A key aspect of the role is working collaboratively with a wide range of partner agencies, including housing, employment services, healthcare providers, probation services, and community rehabilitation companies. This integrated approach ensures continuity of care and supports service users in addressing the wider factors affecting their recovery. You will also contribute to achieving organisational and commissioner targets, including measuring and evidencing successful outcomes. Maintaining accurate records, using IT systems effectively, and building strong multi-agency relationships will be essential. Flexibility is important in this role, as you may be required to work evenings or weekends and travel to different service locations to ensure continuity of care for service users. About You You are a committed and empathetic professional with experience in substance misuse services and a strong understanding of the challenges faced by individuals affected by drug and alcohol dependency. You have experience conducting comprehensive assessments, managing risk, and developing and implementing SMART care plans. You are confident in delivering structured interventions, both one-to-one and in group settings, and are skilled in using motivational interviewing techniques to support behaviour change. You understand the importance of holistic, person-centred care and are able to work effectively with partner agencies to support recovery outcomes. You are knowledgeable about safeguarding, equality and diversity, and the wider recovery agenda. You have strong IT and organisational skills, with the ability to manage a caseload, maintain accurate records, and meet performance targets. You are a strong communicator who can build trust and rapport with a diverse range of service users. Ideally, you will have a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (or equivalent), along with additional knowledge of the 12-step recovery model, community support services, and the criminal justice sector. Experience in prison or community settings, or lived experience of recovery (with appropriate time in sustained recovery), would be advantageous. You are motivated, flexible, and passionate about supporting individuals to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. About Us We are The Forward Trust, the social enterprise with charitable status that empowers people to break the often interlinked cycles of crime and addiction to move forward with their lives. For more than 25 years we have been working with people to build positive and productive lives, whatever their past. We believe that anyone is capable of lasting change.

Job Introduction This exciting new development within Nottingham County welcomes enthusiastic applicants to apply for this rare opportunity to be involved in shaping a brand new service, that will support individuals with complex mental health needs. Wood Street is a supported living service which will provide accommodation and support to people who may have dual diagnoses, a history of drug and/or alcohol use and/or forensic histories. Passionate about people, you'll enjoy the scope - supporting individuals to gain the skills to live independently. With an emphasis on key working, you'll need to work flexibly to manage your own small caseload and help with the day to day running of the service. At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with mental health issues. As a Recovery Worker, you'll make a real difference to their lives as you work closely with people to help them achieve their potential.

As a Recovery Worker, you'll work with individuals on their recovery journey, devising individually tailored support and risk management plans and ensuring effective discharge planning. Ultimately, you'll play a vital role in helping people to gain skills and coping strategies, all while encouraging positive change and independence. The role requires you to work on a 24-hour rolling rota consisting of day, evening and waking night shifts including alternate weekends. The Ideal Candidate Preferably with experience in the mental health sector, it's essential that you have a good understanding of the recovery model, together with a solution-focused attitude and a person-centred approach. You'll be equally comfortable getting things done, using your initiative and as part of a team, and have no problems working in a fast-paced environment and adapting to challenging situations. And of course, you'll be the sort of person who enjoys talking to people with differing needs and complexities, is genuinely interested in helping people, and possesses a deep level of empathy, understanding and patience.
