Job description

Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest, working in partnership with Turning Point and Antidote, provide the City and Hackney Recovery service.

The service is based in each of City and Hackney's neighbourhoods in order to be accessible, local and inclusive.

A full integrated service will contribute to recovery, social inclusion and improving the quality of life of all our service users in the City of London and Hackney borough.

It will be shaped by the community needs and voices of service users, carers, families, communities, all staff and volunteers.

The service has three elements:
Out There, Everywhere
- specialist outreach, in reach and engagement; Building Blocks
- low, medium and high-intensity support pathways; and Get Connected
- building on our local, individual and shared assets to provide recovery capital and peer support.

The Diverse Communities Engagement Lead will provide information, advice, and effective community organising to City and Hackney's diverse BAME and marginalised communities with substance misuse issues.

The role includes holding a caseload and providing clients with recovery support through one to one key-working and coordinating treatment.

The post holder will model and promote the recovery service's commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and will engage the local communities through effective communication, transparency, and collaboration.
