The Recovery Housing support worker role sits within the Recovery Directorate and forms a part of the Recovery Operations Team, utilising all the resources it has to offer.

This post will support Forward Trust service users who reside in one of our supported housings units who are in abstinence-based recovery and who are committed and engaged in a recovery pathway.

The role focuses on a person-centred approach enabling service users to sustain and maintain their recovery and fulfil their best potential. We aim to work in partnership with many agencies giving them the opportunity to offer their services to our service users, ensuring that every client has access to holistic and multidisciplinary service that meets their individual needs.

The Recovery Housing role will be multi-skilled to provide support and a range of interventions across all complexity levels and be able to work across Forward Trust services, providing flexibility and resilience against changing demand.

Formal Line Management support will be given on a quarterly basis however, the expectation is that there will be regular and open dialogue with your Manager between sessions to clarify any points.

You will be responsible for adhering to the targets set by Forward and your line management. Co-operative working relationships with partner agencies and other internal staff are vital to this role.

Some degree of flexibility is required to support ‘out of office’ hours and the continuity of service delivery.

This is a part time role for 17.5 hours per week, we offer flexible working arrangements, some travel around the local area may be required and a full UK driving licence and use of a car would therefore be advantageous.
