Description

At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with substance misuse problems.

Rochdale and Oldham Active Recovery are looking to recruit a dedicated and committed diversity and inclusion lead to support engagement of groups within the Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities who may be experiencing health inequalities and poor health outcomes.

It has long been recognised that people from BAME backgrounds are under-represented in alcohol and drug treatment services, and the evidence indicates the prevalence of harmful alcohol and drug us  in BAME communities is underestimated. Cultural taboos, barriers to engagement, and cultural/religious stigma continue to keep harms hidden and communities suffering with untreated addiction.

You will support ROAR to establish sustainable links with BAME communities and organisation. Working alongside the Operations Manger and Clinical Manager you will develop referral pathways and identify community venues to deliver treatment and interventions in the heart of the community.

As a Recovery Worker we offer a starting salary of £24,150 with annual pay progression up to £28,252 (You may be offered a higher starting salary dependent on experience)

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance use Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.
