An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Worker to work within a multi-disciplinary community substance misuse service as a member of the County Durham DIP team. You will be part of an experienced, friendly team.

You'll be there to help our service users address their substance misuse issues and criminal behaviour. Acting as both supporter and facilitator, you'll draw up care plans to assist them through and beyond the challenges they face, and work with them to make positive changes in their recovery.

You'll need to have excellent listening skills, balanced with a team-orientated and proactive attitude, as well as demonstrable experience gained in a health, social care or criminal justice setting.

We are looking for a suitably qualified individual who has an understanding of the affects of substance misuse on individual’s and their families. The successful candidate will be committed to an anti-discriminatory approach and service user centred practice.
