Substance Misuse Recovery Worker

The Recovery HUB

Portsmouth

37 Hours per week, Full-time

Monday – Friday with regular evening work and occasional weekend work

Salary Scale: 22 – 26 (£26,986 - £30,561 per annum)

About Us

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic Charity and Housing Association. The Society of St James (SSJ) has been working in Hampshire for over 50 years, delivering high impact, person-centred, accommodation services to adults and young people experiencing homelessness, problematic substance use and mental health problems. We believe that every person is of worth and we are prepared to take risks to house and support the most at risk and socially excluded members of society.

The Impact You'll Make

As a Substance Misuse Recovery Worker, you will manage a client caseload safely and effectively to support individuals who want to make changes to their lives. You will deliver a range of person-centred interventions, including monitoring Opiate Substitute prescriptions and promoting harm reduction. Primarily based at The Recovery Hub in Southsea, your role will involve visiting clients in other services or home environments, carrying out assessments, and working closely with medical teams and key partner agencies to deliver safe and effective support.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for a trauma-informed, compassionate, and self-aware candidate with experience working with substance misuse and mental health client groups. You should possess excellent risk management skills, strong professional boundaries, and the ability to build meaningful, engaging relationships with service users. The ideal candidate will be proactive, adaptable, and willing to work flexibly (including evenings and weekends) to meet service user needs and ensure safeguarding standards across their caseload.

Essential Skills and Qualities

Experience or understanding of working with people with histories of homelessness, mental health, and substance misuse.
Understanding of harm minimisation, sexual health, HIV/Hepatitis prevention, and health promotion.
Experience of developing and reviewing recovery plans and liaising with statutory and voluntary organisations.
Understanding of the difficulties faced by those with alcohol and substance dependency, withdrawal, and diverse treatment options.
Understanding of modern psycho-social interventions (e.g., ACT, Mindfulness, CBT) and concepts such as recovery capital.
Knowledge of safeguarding and protection procedures for vulnerable adults and children.
Knowledge of lone working procedures, risk assessments, and managing challenging behaviour.
Understanding of confidentiality, data protection, and Equality & Diversity.
Experience in identifying and supporting individuals experiencing domestic abuse.
Excellent listening, verbal, and written communication skills, along with IT literacy.

What we can offer you

We value and recognise our staff, offering some generous benefits, as well as the satisfaction of helping people at risk:

A competitive annual leave entitlement of 25 days rising to 30 days, plus public holidays
Flexible working options
Buying additional annual leave
Comprehensive induction and training
Counselling, financial, personal support and health and wellbeing services via our Employee Assistance Programme
Company cycle to work scheme
Discounted laptops and computers with Jamie’s Computers
Electric Car Scheme
Blue Light Card
