Job Introduction

Do you want to help build a brighter future for communities and individuals in Oldham & Rochdale by doing a highly rewarding job? Turning Point’s drug & alcohol services are currently expanding during an exciting time in the sector with new funding and investment. We have a range of roles for people passionate about supporting others to make change.

We have roles in different teams including:

• Community-based treatment services: providing assessment, coordinating treatment, and working in partnership to support individuals. The roles include delivering structured psycho-social interventions in group and one-to-one settings to enable our service users to acquire thinking skills and behaviors to make lasting change.
• Homeless outreach provision: targeting homeless individuals, offering flexible outreach responses to highly vulnerable individuals sleeping rough or living in temporary accommodation.
• Criminal Justice rehabilitation/recovery services: working closely with Probation Services, Prisons, and Police to provide rapid, tailored responses that support recovery and rehabilitation.

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.

Whether you are looking to progress into management and leadership roles or to become a specialist as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner, Turning Point will support and encourage your career development.

Role Responsibilities

Recovery workers act as ‘key workers’ for a caseload of service users, supporting them to set goals around treatment and develop plans to achieve these. The role includes maintaining regular contact, offering advice, information, psycho-social interventions, assessments, risk management planning, and working closely with clinical staff on prescribing needs and partner agencies. Effective communication with a range of service users and colleagues, task management, and a commitment to Turning Point values are essential. Lived experience of substance use, mental health, or homelessness (self or a significant other), or experience supporting people in health and social care, or a keen interest in supporting this group, are all valued.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have an understanding of substance and alcohol use, the challenges, and opportunities for individuals on a recovery journey. Transferable skills from backgrounds such as mental health, housing, or other health and social care fields are also welcome. Flexibility, the ability to work dynamically on a one-to-one and group basis, and knowledge of relapse and barriers to recovery are vital, but training will be provided where needed. Excellent communication skills and shared organizational values are important. We value lived experience but also welcome those interested in this line of work. Our Trainee Recovery Worker program enables individuals without all relevant experience to gain an entry-level position and progress within the organization.

We encourage individual creativity and initiative, and all roles involve identifying opportunities to improve service quality and user experience. You will be supported with extensive training and a culture that promotes ongoing learning and service improvement.

About Us

We recognize that reward looks different for everyone. Our total reward package includes:

• 25 days’ paid holiday plus Bank Holidays, increasing with service up to 27 days, with options to buy additional holidays.

We reserve the right to close this advert early if the position is filled before the deadline.

Salary: Starting at £25,116, with annual progression up to £29,383.
