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 for a Recovery Worker to work within our Yeovil hub. As a 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 act as 'key workers' to a caseload of service users, supporting them to decide their goals around treatment and develop plans to achieve these. The role includes maintaining regular contact with your clients, offering advice, information and psycho-social interventions as well as providing assessments, risk management planning and working closely with our clinical staff around prescribing needs and partner agencies. No day is the same in this role but an ability to communicate effectively with a range or service users and colleagues, an ability to manage different tasks and a commitment to Turning Point values are essential.

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.

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. About us What Benefits Will I Receive? We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career - we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package: 25 days' paid holiday a year + Bank Holidays, increasing with each year of service up to 27 days + Bank Holidays.
