Focussed Intervention Alcohol and Substance Worker

What will the role look like?

As an alcohol and substance worker and member of the Focused Intervention Team, you will be at the forefront of the Forward Leeds drug and alcohol service. Your role will be to work with service users who identify as having problems with drugs (predominantly non‑opiates) and alcohol, to deliver appropriate interventions in a time‑bound manner.

You will also be required to promote the service and communicate advice and information to the general public through coordinated attendance at a wide range of city wide events, presentations to varied groups, one‑to‑one engagement, work within the night time economy and many other types of public interaction.

We are looking for someone with experience of working with people with issues surrounding alcohol and drugs and someone that has experience of effective interventions. We would like someone approachable to be able to engage with members of the public in a one‑to‑one setting and be able to work with a caseload of clients.

Barca‑Leeds is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. The successful applicant must undertake a Disclosure and Barring Check at a level appropriate to the role, before appointment is confirmed. The disclosure of a criminal conviction will not necessarily exclude candidates from appointment.
