The Project Worker will work with service users to ensure they receive the best service from Nacro and that this is coordinated with the broader supporting environment.

• Meet service quality standards and adhere to all operational and policy standards.
• Ensure all service user support and safety plans are in place.

Qualifications

• Experience of working with vulnerable people with a range of support needs, especially substance misuse issues.
• Ability to assess and manage risk.
• Excellent communication skills to motivate service users.
• The ability to carry out assessments for all service users to identify individual needs or barriers and then produce an agreed action plan that is regularly reviewed, monitored and outcomes collated.
• Organisational and planning skills, able to deal with conflicting priorities.
• Ability to work effectively on own initiative and in a highly pressurised environment while responding appropriately to the needs of the service users.
• Ability to work flexibly and proactively.
