    # Young Persons Recovery Worker### Job Introduction


    Please Note:

    A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an Essential Requirement.At Turning Point, we support people across the UK with substance use issues.

    As a Young Persons Recovery Worker in Wakefield, you'll work with our various agencies (e.g. Social Care, CAMHS and Schools) to help make a difference to the lives of young people in the community.
    Working in a variety of settings, you'll develop personal, flexible and realistic support packages based on people's individual circumstances.

    In this busy role, no two days will be the same as you manage an interesting caseload without compromising on quality.

    This is a wide and varied role, which give you challenges and opportunities daily.

    You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

    Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance use Practitioner at Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.### Role Responsibility Working side-by-side with your own caseload of service users, you'll coordinate individual treatment journeys and offer the people-centred care they come to us for.

    That means you'll also build relationships with families and professionals to make sure each person gets the right care for their needs.

    Ultimately, this role is about supporting young people to make the changes the individual wishes to make to their substance use, so you'll develop strength-based recovery plans, complete risk assessments and identify opportunities for service users to get involved in their communities.

    The role of Young Persons Recovery Worker is a fast-paced one; this means plenty of variety and challenges too so you'll need to approach things methodically and think on your feet.

    As the role can be out and about, there is an expectation that you will manage your own diary to make the best use of your time.

    Within the role there is some lone working so you have to be comfortable with working alone – although the rest of the team is only a phone call away.

    You will have strong IT skills as you will be expected to input data and keep your case files up to date.### The Ideal CandidateBuilding on your previous experience of working with under 25's you'll have the ability engage clients quickly, to co-ordinate and complete care plans and assessments, possess some knowledge of substance use issues and ideally, have a relevant qualification and you must have a driving license and access to a car.

    Highly motivated and driven to make a real difference, your work ethic will be strong too – as will your written and verbal communication skills.

    Above all, we're looking for an individual with commitment and integrity to deliver services to young people in Wakefield.

    As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

    We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people.

    We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

    We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package that includes:

    • 25 days' paid holiday a year + Bank Holidays, increasing with each year of service up to 27 days + Bank Holidays. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
    • Join our team and discover the comprehensive benefits we offer by following this link to explore all the exciting perks available to our employees .We reserve the right to close this advert early if we are able to appoint to the vacancy before the advertised closed date.
