Job Summary
The Service
Cheshire West and Chester is a fully integrated recovery service delivered by WDP. We offer free and confidential support for individuals affected by drug and alcohol problems and their families and carers. We believe with the right support; people can make long-lasting transformations in their lives to improve their health and wellbeing.
The Role
Experience of working within substance misuse and criminal justice knowledge or a related Health and Social Care setting is essential. The successful candidates must be committed, resourceful and highly motivated to engage service users within treatment services and promote recovery through their daily practice.
This role will be co located within probation offices, in Chester/Northwich and Winsford to case manage clients on probation alongside the Probation Practitioners. The role will require the post holder to assess the needs of service users, deliver effective interventions, complete detailed reports, and work closely with our criminal justice partner agencies, clinical team and other partner agencies.
An empathetic and non-judgmental approach is imperative, as this role involves working with a wide range of challenging issues and behaviours, and many difficult to engage clients. Good time management and team working skills are essential in this fast-paced service.
