Riverside is a group of complementary businesses with a clear social purpose, anchored by a charitable housing association.

Established over 90 years ago, Riverside has grown into a major provider of affordable housing, care, and support services in England and Scotland, managing almost 56,000 homes across 160 local authorities.

Riverside transforms lives by providing:

• High-quality, well-maintained affordable housing
• Support services to improve resilience and independence
• Opportunities to increase household income via employment, money advice, and energy efficiency programmes
• Community revitalisation through building homes, maintaining green spaces, and fostering engagement

Forward Trust works alongside Riverside to provide specialist substance misuse support to residents, helping them address complex needs and improve outcomes.

We are seeking a Substance Misuse Specialist to work within an integrated framework, providing support to homeless drug and alcohol users aged 18 and over.

You will work alongside all relevant departments within Riverside and operate within a Trauma Informed Care (TIC) framework, delivering client-centred interventions using both harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches.
