Experience supporting individuals affected by alcohol and/or substance use.
Experience delivering one-to-one support and case management.
Understanding of trauma-informed and person-centred practice.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
PVG Scheme Membership or willingness to obtain membership.

Desirable

Experience working within alcohol and drug services.
Knowledge of the Scottish Government Quality Principles and Charter of Rights.
Training in ABI, DBI, ASIST, SMHFA, Naloxone or Motivational Interviewing.
Experience supporting people experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
Experience facilitating group work and recovery-focused interventions.

Why Join Substances Support Scotland?

We offer:

✅ A supportive and inclusive working environment
✅ Comprehensive induction and onboarding
