As RISE continues to increase its provision of access and support for individuals with complex mental health conditions, a vacancy has arisen for a Volunteer Recovery Support. They will need to have a specialism in Complex Dual Diagnosis (Co-existing Mental Health and Substance Use).

The Dual Diagnosis Team for Ealing RISE supports service users dealing with:

You will support:

Clients' treatment/recovery journey
Providing support to Team members with screening, assessment, pharmacological support, psychosocial support - cognitive & behavioural based interventions, motivational interviewing interventions
Recovery planning and onward referral
Reducing drug and alcohol related harm to service users & the wider community
Promoting carer, service user & community involvement
