Job Overview

This role is for a 2 year training post with Inclusion within HMP Bullingdon. You will be working with the service users and multi-agency team members to support the delivery of Recovery focussed outcomes by promoting and creating opportunities in visible recovery, harm reduction and brief interventions.

The training role will lend itself to someone who has lived experience of substance misuse, and the judicial system and would like to gain experience working within this field. After successful completion of the 2 years training you will have the opportunity to progress to a Band 5 Recovery Worker position.

You will be involved in providing psychosocial substance misuse interventions, working closely with our healthcare provider to deliver clinical services. Your responsibilities will include completing assessments, facilitating group work, and establishing strong relationships with community services to ensure continuity of care upon release for our service users.

Individuals with lived experience of substance misuse and recovery will be valued for the unique perspective and insight they bring to the role - showing through your own knowledge, experience and learning that change is possible.

Main duties of the job

Our goal is to provide hope, motivation, and support for men in recovery at HMP Bullingdon, while also enhancing continuity of care to facilitate drug and alcohol-free lives upon their release.

Research has shown the powerful impact that lived experience can have on improving outcomes for recovery from substance misuse. Your first-hand understanding and awareness of the effects of substance misuse, both on individuals and the community, are invaluable assets in this role.


* Make a meaningful impact: Your unique perspective and insights will play a vital role in supporting individuals on their path to recovery.
* Comprehensive training: We will provide you with the necessary training and resources to succeed in your role.
* Join a supportive team: Work alongside dedicated professionals who share your passion for helping others.
