About The Role
Are you passionate about helping people on probation rebuild their lives and navigate recovery? Join The Forward Trust as a Recovery Navigator, working as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team making a real difference across London.
As a Recovery Navigator, youll be based within the boroughs of Ealing & Hillingdon, Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham, and Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster, travelling between local probation delivery units as part of your day-to-day work.
This is an in-person, community-based role, giving you the opportunity to meet clients face-to-face, build trust, and help them access the services they need.
What Youll Do
Youll manage a diverse caseload of adult male prison leavers and those on community orders, providing tailored support to help them engage with treatment and sustain positive change. Your responsibilities will include:
Completing comprehensive assessments and creating collaborative action plans
Delivering one-to-one and group interventions (including virtual sessions)
Maintaining accurate and timely records
Offering practical support and advocacy, from completing referral forms and attending appointments to liaising with partner agencies
Providing advice, guidance and information that empowers individuals to act and progress
Delivering motivational interventions to build recovery skills and confidence
About the Service
The London Dependency and Recovery Service is designed to bridge the gap between probation and community substance misuse services. Rather than duplicating existing provision, our goal is to ensure access and sustained engagement with statutory and community partners, supporting individuals towards controlled dependent behaviour or abstinence and ultimately reducing re-offending.
What Were Looking For
Experience supporting individuals with substance misuse or complex needs
Strong communication and partnership-building skills
A flexible, proactive approach and commitment to empowering others
Ability to work across multiple sites within London
At Forward, youll be part of a purpose-driven organisation that values collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. Youll receive ongoing training, the chance to specialise, and the opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of others.
