Description

Due to very high demand, we are actively recruiting Support Workers with experience in drug and alcohol misuse to cover shifts in Post-16's Supported Living, Mental Health Units, Homeless Hostels, and Drug and Alcohol Recovery Units in the West Sussex area, including but not limited to Chichester, Bognor Regis, Worthing, Horsham, Crawley, and surrounding areas.

We can offer Addiction Support Worker shifts supporting vulnerable young people and those both actively using and recovering from drug and alcohol addictions in various settings throughout West Sussex. Shifts available include early mornings, late evenings, long days, sleep-ins, and waking nights. Shifts can be continuous within a single project for consistency or across different projects for greater flexibility and variety. Our current Addiction Support Workers value the ability to work as much or as little as they like, fitting work around their lifestyle and other commitments, or working for us as their main source of income.

As an Addiction Support Worker, you will be emotionally resilient, patient, and empathetic, with strong communication skills and the ability to maintain safe working boundaries. These young people and adults may sometimes display challenging and unpredictable behaviours.

If this sounds like you and a career you would be interested in, we would love to hear from you!
