Recovery Worker – Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership (Grantham)

Please Note: The application deadline for this job has now passed.

Job Introduction

Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an Essential Requirement.

Location: Based in our Grantham Hub.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership, a vibrant new partnership delivering substance use treatment and recovery services across Lincolnshire from April 2024. Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership is delivered in partnership between Turning Point, Framework, and Double Impact. The partnership combines Turning Point’s national experience as an outstanding substance use provider with Double Impact’s expertise in lived experience and recovery, and Framework’s support for service users with complex issues.

Our ‘Recovery First’ model underpins everything at Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership, with lived experience recovery fully integrated and visible throughout. Lincolnshire’s residents will benefit from Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership’s highly integrated and localized approach, supporting multiple issues across the county.

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways to help you achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

As a Recovery Worker, we offer a starting salary of £25,116, rising annually in line with our pay progression salary bands, up to £29,383 per year. (Dependent on experience, you may be offered a starting salary above the initial amount).

Whether you aim to progress into management and leadership or become a specialist as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner, we will support and encourage your career development.

Role Responsibilities

Recovery workers act as ‘key workers’ to a caseload of service users, supporting them to set treatment goals and develop plans to achieve them. The role includes maintaining regular contact, offering advice, information, psycho-social interventions, assessments, risk management, and collaborating with clinical staff, prescribing teams, and partner agencies. Effective communication, task management, and a commitment to Turning Point values are essential. Candidates with lived experience of substance use, mental health, or homelessness, or those with experience in health and social care, are encouraged to apply.

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll understand substance and alcohol use challenges and opportunities for recovery. Transferable skills from mental health, housing, or other health and social care backgrounds are valued. Flexibility, dynamic working, and knowledge of relapse and barriers to recovery are vital. Excellent communication skills and shared organizational values are essential. Our Trainee Recovery Worker program offers entry-level positions for those without all experience, supporting career growth within the organization.

We value creativity and initiative, encouraging you to suggest improvements to services and the user experience. Extensive training and a supportive learning culture will help you stay current and contribute to service improvements.

About Us

As a leading health and social care provider with over 300 locations across England, we pride ourselves on our services. We operate on a not-for-profit basis, reinvesting in our services and staff. We are committed to positive change and improving lives.
