We’re looking for a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker to join a well-established substance misuse charity in South London.
The ideal candidate will have Criminal Justice experience, although they would also consider someone with a strong Substance Misuse / Recovery background who has a good understanding of the criminal justice system.
You’ll be working with:
- Prison leavers
- Referrals from Probation
- Court referrals
- Clients with substance misuse and complex needs
A key part of the role will be producing reports for the courts, alongside managing a caseload, completing assessments and providing recovery-focused and harm-reduction support.
The role is based from the Croydon office, with regular visits to two local courts, both within walking distance of the office.
What they’re looking for:
- Criminal Justice / Probation experience or strong Substance Misuse Recovery experience
- Understanding of the Criminal Justice System
- Experience working with complex needs and safeguarding
- Caseload management experience
- Strong report writing and communication skills
- Confident engaging with service users and partner agencies
Good onboarding and training provided – so candidates with strong substance misuse experience but less direct criminal justice experience will still be considered.
