Drug and Alcohol Recovery Outreach Officer

Would you like to take on a role where you are able to make a difference?

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 case load, 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 prefer to engage

with non-statutory services and those who come to them in the form of an outreach service.

More information can be found in the Supporting Information, Role Description and Person Specification below.
