  • Maintain accurate, compliant case records and contribute to service reporting
  • Work collaboratively with clinicians, partner services, peer mentors and families
  • Support day‑to‑day service activity such as duty cover, reception and needle exchange (training provided)

Essential:
  • Experience supporting people affected by substance use, mental health or similar complex needs
  • Strong communication and rapport‑building skills
  • Ability to manage a busy caseload independently and meet deadlines
  • Confident working within multi‑agency settings
  • Knowledge of safeguarding, risk management and harm reduction
  • Strong organisational skills and IT literacy
  • Commitment to equality, inclusion and person‑centred practice
Desirable:

  • A varied, rewarding role where no two days are the same
