Job Summary

Would you like to join us in supporting those affected by drug and alcohol issues to improve their health and wellbeing?

The Role

We are looking for an empathetic and non-judgemental individual to join us, who has a passion for working with a wide variety of challenging scenarios and behaviours.

Through a variety of interventions, you will encourage individuals to develop external interests, build support networks, and develop recovery capital to support their community reintegration.

The Service

Arch Hillingdon is a free and confidential service for young people and adults who live or are registered with a GP in Hillingdon.

We recognize the importance of providing treatment for both the substance misuse problem and any associated emotional or mental health issues.
