Drug alcohol support coordinator

Hybrid role (2 days home / 3 office) working on a drug and alcohol service supporting ex-offenders to rehabilitate and move towards employment and training. The office element is working at 2 projects extremely near to each other (both about a 10-minute walk from Aldgate East). Although a fixed term contract until Mar 2025, it could well extend as the charity often has other opportunities. The main purpose is to support clients, so they have a good baseline to move towards an Employment and Training Coach. To summarise the day to elements of the role: Screening potential participants for the programme (referring internally or externally if they are not suitable for this service but could be with another provider) Signing posting clients to services which could help support such as housing, mental health, and debt management. Prison visits typically twice a month and usually in Wandsworth, Thameside and Pentonville Delivering risk assessments Leading on short courses with participants to develop soft skills, delivering both in the community and in prison settings. This role could suit someone with experience of the client group (so learning towards to end of the salary). So, you might have worked as a Resettlement Worker, Drug Alcohol Support Worker, Hostel Worker, Supported Housing Officer, or Employment Advisor. But it could also suit a graduate with a degree related subject such as criminology (with voluntary or paid experience of work with vulnerable clients). Please apply to this advert ndash; we aim to respond to everyone (if by chance you have not had a response, feel free to call the office and ask for James or send a message via the Contact Page on the Red 5 People website and we will get back in contact within 48 hours). Interviews will be face to face on Thursday 16th May. Please note: the home working days cannot be fixed days each week as you would need to work around the needs of the service
