• Developing personalised recovery plans focused on each person’s strengths and aspirations
• Using therapeutic interventions, harm reduction strategies and relapse prevention tools
• Working closely with families, carers and partner agencies to ensure joined‑up care

About You

You’re compassionate, resilient and understanding. You bring empathy and patience to your work and believe in people’s capacity to change. You communicate clearly, build trust and treat everyone with respect and dignity.

Ideally, you’ll hold an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, or be willing to work towards it with our support. What matters most is your positive attitude, your values and your commitment to supporting recovery.
