Overview
At Turning Point, we support people across the country with substance use. As a Recovery Worker, you'll make a real difference to their lives as you develop the personal, flexible and realistic support packages they need to help turn things around. You’ll be part of a friendly and multidisciplinary team and have opportunities to enhance your own life as you make the role your own.
Our Oxfordshire Roads to Recovery Service is an integrated community drug and alcohol service that offers support to individuals across the county. Our Recovery Hubs are based in Oxford, Banbury, Witney and Didcot, and we also deliver services within Shared Care GP Practices across the County. You will work within a supportive multi-disciplinary team with Doctors, Nurses, Clinical Psychologists, Support Workers, Counsellors and Peer Mentors to improve the well-being of a wide range of service users.
Responsibilities
We are seeking a number of Recovery Workers to join an established team and you will be based in one of our Oxfordshire Recovery Hubs. You may have experience of the substance use sector or may have transferable skills and be looking for a change. Having handled a significant caseload in a busy environment, you’ll have an understanding of substance use and the recovery agenda. You will need excellent communication skills and an ability to be flexible and take on an extremely varied role. We want to invest in you, train you and support you to secure a future with a sector leader. You’ll be highly motivated with big ambitions and even bigger potential.
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer. We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.
Qualifications
Experience in the substance use sector is not mandatory; transferable skills are welcome. You should be able to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and be motivated to develop your career through a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways.

As a Recovery Worker we offer a salary of £27,166 to £31,780 per year (dependent on experience).
