We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic Casual Recovery Worker who is motivated to work as part of a thriving and diverse team, ensuring recovery opportunities are available for individuals at any point in their recovery journey. You will strive to work collaboratively with partners and communities, ensuring that we are as accessible as possible and that the principles of a Recovery Oriented System of Care and true person-centred practice are at the heart of all that we do.

Main Duties of the Job

Our Recovery Workers work with our service users to help them to determine what their goals, ambitions, and passions are, working with them to create the best treatment plan for their needs and to get them back onto the path to recovery. This is an integral role for With You - as a frontline worker, you will deliver continuity of care through effective partnership working, care coordination, delivery of interventions, and key work responsibilities. You will manage an active caseload of service users, connecting quickly with the people we support, treating them respectfully and with dignity.

WithYou provides free and confidential support, without judgement, to more than 100,000 people every year experiencing challenges with drugs, alcohol, and mental health across England and Scotland. Our name reflects who we are - a positive place where people can progress, connect with others, and get friendly, expert help in a way that's right for them. Our staff team changes lives. If you're passionate about helping people get the support they need for issues with drugs, alcohol, and mental health, we'd love to hear from you.

Job Responsibilities

The hourly rate is £14.24.

We are looking for positive and motivated candidates who are able to communicate with a wide range of people and in different settings. You will also be organised with excellent time management skills.
