We have an excellent opportunity for an experienced alcohol and drug practitioner. The successful candidate will motivate service users and will support them to make positive changes to their drinking or substance misuse.
They will have a good knowledge of harm reduction messages, risk management, recovery planning, therapeutic interventions and be able to support clients to address their alcohol and drug (non-opiate) problems. They will need to be confident in their abilities, have good communication and record-keeping skills and be self-motivated. This role will require a combination of hub-based and home working.
As part of the Forward Leeds service, they cab draw support from the rest of the service, including drawing upon the experience and expertise within one of the largest treatment services in the country. They will be based at one of the three Forward Leeds hubs and help contribute to the excellent recovery focussed outcomes that Forward Leeds delivers.
They will need to be able to travel across the city and thus require their own transport.
