Contract: Full time, Fixed Term 12 months

The Forward Trust is a UK leading provider of drug and alcohol treatment services to offenders. We deliver treatment and recovery support - in prisons and in the community - which helps people move away from addiction and crime. These services provide a variety of support, including advice, counselling, group work, and intensive treatment. At The Forward Trust, we believe that all people who are addicted to or misusing substances should have access to effective support that protects their health and motivates them towards their own recovery. Over 20 years of pursuing this mission, we have successfully moved thousands of drug-dependent offenders away from a lifestyle revolving around crime and substance dependence.

We are committed to providing opportunities to all people, including those with 'Lived Experience.' We encourage applications from all backgrounds, including those in recovery from addiction, co-dependency, or gambling, who have experience of previous offending or homelessness. If you would like to give back and develop your skills, our trainee programme could be just what you are looking for.

We ask you to commit to a recognised qualification whilst completing your one-year traineeship, and in return, we will provide you with a comprehensive support package.

The team member you shadow will help ensure you receive the necessary training and development to become competent in the role. You will have regular reviews to ensure you stay on track to successfully complete the traineeship and undertake the compulsory therapy required. Part of your time will be spent gaining practical experience and part studying towards achieving the assigned qualification (subject to criteria).

What we are looking for?

1. An ability to set and maintain professional boundaries
2. Good organisational and communication skills
3. An understanding of the needs of vulnerable adults in recovery with experience of previous offending
4. Able to manage own workload effectively to deadlines and targets
5. Understanding of, and commitment to the principles of equal opportunity and client confidentiality

What we offer:

1. Season Ticket Loan Scheme
