We are a national social justice charity with more than 50 years’ experience of changing lives, building stronger communities and reducing crime. Last year alone we helped support, house, educate, advise and speak out for 38,000 disadvantaged young people and adults - and you could now help us make an even bigger impact going forward.

Who are we looking for?

We are searching for a Spoc Support Worker as part of Wolverhampton’s substance misuse service, who can work in a fast-paced and dynamic setting to support service users. You will be receiving referrals, completing assessments, prison transfers, needle exchange, and holding one-to-one sessions. The key aim is to support service users to reach their goals in line with the Spoc focus throughout all treatment and interventions planning.

Duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Provide information, advice, and support primarily via telephone but also face to face and in groups.
• Deliver interventions in a wide range of settings such as criminal justice, primary care, schools, and youth centres.
• Undertake elements of assessment and case management with clients as directed.
• Liaise with external agencies, e.g., GP's, treatment providers, and social care services.

Ideally, you will have some experience of working with substance misuse and/or support or social care experience, but Nacro will consider candidates who have minimal experience but relevant qualifications.

A DBS check will be required for this role.
