You have a good understanding of the harm caused by alcohol and drug use to adults, young people, children, families, and society, and a sympathetic approach to people who misuse them.
All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Aquarius as a Support Worker.
Aquarius is a charity that helps people and communities overcome the harm caused by alcohol, drugs, and gambling. We are part of ‘One Recovery Buckinghamshire’ (ORB), a partnership between Inclusion (MPFT NHS Trust), Aquarius, and Build on Belief providing support for alcohol and drug issues across Buckinghamshire.
We are looking for two Support Workers to join our team. We have two positions available, one in Aylesbury.
Your challenge? To provide advice, support, advocacy, and key work for recovery plans, undertake assessments, and manage cases as directed. We expect you to operate in a way that recognizes and values diversity and understands the functional model of substance misuse, the Recovery Agenda, and the problems caused by alcohol and drug misuse.
Preferably with an NVQ 2/3 in Social Care, or willing to attain this, you are used to working according to policy and procedural requirements that include child protection, vulnerable adults, confidentiality, and health & safety. Good written and verbal communication skills, the ability to maintain accurate records, and fulfill data requirements are essential. A flexible approach and a client-centered attitude are important, along with a commitment to working in a way that recognizes and values diversity.
