Birmingham
You have an understanding of substance misuse and associated health and social issues and experience of working with young people in an addictions or social care setting. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Aquarius as a Practitioner.
Right now, we’re looking for a self-motivated individual to join us at our Recovery Near You service. This is a substance misuse service that works with adults aged 18+ and is run in partnership with Nacro and Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust. Your challenge? To join the Treatment Team and work with a caseload of clients using psychosocial interventions to reduce substance misuse. When it comes to developing opportunities, initiatives and activities that support the development of a recovery community in the area the service operates, again, we’ll count on you to deliver.
An energetic and confident self-starter, you have a qualification in health/social care, youth and community care (e.g., NVQ Level 3 or above, DipSW, Mental Health Nursing, Counselling, Addiction Studies). Alternatively, we’ll consider candidates with experience of working in the substance misuse field with a commitment to complete NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care. As well as good knowledge of alcohol/drug and health-related issues, you're used to liaising with voluntary and statutory agencies and health professionals and comfortable engaging with clients in a variety of service delivery settings. What’s more, you have a flexible approach, a commitment to the principles of confidentiality, and the ability to write client records and report and fulfill data requirements.
This is a permanent full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37 hours per week.
