Substance Misuse Recovery Worker - Criminal Justice

The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) is a registered charity that has been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs and alcohol misuse for over 40 years.

Aspire is a partnership between ADS and Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH). It combines the strengths of both NHS provision under the leadership of a consultant with the strengths of the voluntary sector provided by ADS. The partnership has worked together for over 20 years providing Drug and Alcohol Services to our local communities. It is a forward-thinking and innovative partnership that works closely with the recovery communities it serves to provide flexible, responsive services which offer the best possible outcomes for its service users and the community it serves.

It is an extremely exciting time to be working in the drug and alcohol field with significant new career opportunities being created.

The criminal justice team is working with people involved in the judicial system, supporting them to lead meaningful lives. This team works very closely with the courts, probation, and prisons to support and steer people away from a life of crime and offending, often underpinned by addiction issues.

If you have relevant experience in the substance misuse field and a level 3 Tackling Substance Misuse or equivalent, we would like to hear from you.

We provide a comprehensive package of accredited courses, and for newly qualified Social Workers, we support the ASYE programme.
