An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Horizon, the Young Persons Service
within Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership, a vibrant new partnership delivering
substance use treatment and recovery services across Lincolnshire from April
2024.
Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership is delivered in partnership between
Turning Point, Framework and Double Impact.
The partnership combines Turning
Point's national experience as an outstanding substance use provider together
with Double Impact's specialism in lived experience and recovery and
Framework's expertise supporting service users with complex issues.
Our 'Recovery First' model underpins everything at Lincolnshire Recovery
Partnership, with lived experience recovery fully integrated and visible

Lincolnshire's residents will benefit from Lincolnshire Recovery
Partnership's highly integrated and highly localised approach, supporting with
multiple issues across all parts of Lincolnshire.

rising each year in line with our pay progression salary bands, rising to
£29,383 per year (Pro-Rata).
(Dependent on experience you may be offered a
starting salary above the initial starting salary).
### Role Responsibility
Young Persons Recovery workers act as 'key workers' to a caseload of young
people up to 21 years old, supporting them to achieve their goals around their
substance use and develop plans to achieve these.
You will support young
people to gain a better understanding of substances, enabling them to make
informed decisions along with giving them the knowledge to stay safe.
The
Young Persons Service offers an outreach service to young people, seeing them
wherever best suits them and their needs.
The role includes maintaining
regular contact with your young people, offering advice, information and
psycho-social interventions as well as completing assessments, risk management
planning and working closely with our clinical staff and partner agencies.
No day is the same in this role but an ability to communicate effectively with
a range of young people, colleagues, and partner agencies is essential along
with an ability to manage different tasks and a commitment to Turning Point
values are essential.
You may have lived experience of substance usemental
healthhomelessness (self or a significant other), come with experience
supporting people in health and social care or just have a keen interest in
supporting young people; if your values are right, we have a role for
everyone.
### The Ideal Candidate
You'll have an understanding of substance and alcohol use and the challenges
and opportunities for young people.
However, we also recognise that many
people have transferrable skills from other backgrounds such as mental health,
housing or other health and social care provision.
The role is varied, so
flexibility, an ability to work dynamically on a one to one and group basis
with young people is vital, but we can help to shape these skills where
needed.
We also look for candidates with excellent communication skills and
who share our values as an organisation.
We value individuals with lived
experience but also those who are just interested in this line of work; our
Trainee Recovery Worker program enables individuals without all relevant
experience to gain an entry level position within the organisation before
moving on to other roles.
We value individual creativity and initiative and, whatever your role, you
will be fully involved in identifying opportunities to improve the quality of
our services and the young peoples experience.
Your ideas will be listened to
and your suggestions implemented wherever possible.
You will be supported in
your role by extensive training to help develop your skills.
Our learning
culture encourages everyone to stay on top of the latest developments in their
field and helps drive service improvement.
