Are you passionate about supporting people experiencing homelessness to make positive changes and move towards a safer, more stable future?

Forward Trust is looking for a motivated and compassionate Recovery Navigator to join our London Dependency and Recovery Service, supporting men on probation to engage with substance misuse treatment and make positive changes in their lives.

Working as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team, you will help bridge the gap between probation services and community-based substance misuse support. You will work directly with adult male prison leavers and individuals serving community orders, helping them overcome barriers to treatment, engage with existing services and progress on their recovery journey.

You will manage a diverse caseload, complete comprehensive assessments, develop collaborative action plans and deliver one-to-one, group and virtual interventions. Through practical assistance, advocacy, advice and ongoing motivational support, you will empower individuals to better understand and manage their dependency and recovery needs.

This is a predominantly in-person role, with day-to-day work across probation delivery units in the boroughs listed above. You will need to be flexible and adaptable, as occasional travel to other areas of London or attendance at head office for training and support may be required.
