Recovery Navigator
As a Recovery Navigator in the London Dependency and Recovery Service, you will be working within a hybrid model as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team.
You will be travelling across the probation delivery units in the boroughs of: Ealing & Hillingdon, Brent, Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster. This is an in-person service, and you will be expected to work day-to-day from the locations mentioned above.
The service is designed to improve engagement of Person(s) on Probation into treatment services and ‘bridge the gap’ between probation and substance misuse services in the community by offering practical assistance and ongoing support through a range of timebound, enforceable and motivational interventions.
You will carry a diverse caseload of adult male prison leavers and those on community orders within the National Probation Service, supporting to implement their action plan and navigate their recovery journey. You will be responsible for completing comprehensive assessments, creating a collaborative action plan and delivering one to one, group work/virtual sessions, whilst maintaining accurate record keeping throughout.
Your role is to successfully navigate these men on their recovery journey by providing:
- Support and advocacy e.g. including physical help with referral forms, face-to-face negotiations with a wide range of other providers, attending appointments with them or taking steps on their behalf, for example making phone-calls and onward referrals.
- Advice, guidance and information e.g. Information via a variety of forms (including printed documents) but must be provided in a way that enables the Person(s) on Probation to act on the information given and should form part of a wider package of support offered.
- Deliver psychosocial interventions to empower and upskill Person(s) on Probation to enable understanding and management of their Dependency and Recovery needs (one to one and group work)
You will be responsible for adhering to the targets set by Forward and the local commissioners. Co-operative working relationships with other partner agencies and probation staff are vital to this role.
Some degree of flexibility may be required if out of office work is required, but this is a predominantly a Monday - Friday 09:00-17:00 role.
You may at times be required to attend our head office for training or support in other areas of London. On occasions you may be required to support different sites across London.
