Drug and Alcohol Recovery Outreach Officer
Posted 2 hours 25 minutes ago by Anglia Care Trust
The main purpose of the role is to intensively support people to reduce problematic alcohol and substance misuse and tackle the wider complex issues associated with this client group, including rough sleeping and poor health, fewer alcohol related hospital admissions, and a reduction in crime and disorder.
Officers have a varied caseload, allowing them to build trusting relationships with service users and support them on their journey to recovery by addressing some of the underpinning issues. Support to individuals is intense throughout and engagement with partner agencies is vital to achieving the outcomes of the project. The group prefers to engage with non statutory services and those who come to them in the form of an outreach service.
A full driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
