We are looking to recruit an experienced harm reduction worker to enhance our clinical offer. This is an opportunity to join a developing service as a harm reduction practitioner, supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health and addictions needs.
CREST is part of the integrated care systems approach focused on providing different ways of working with individuals who have spent long periods of time in hospital, to improve outcomes for this service user group. As a regional service we cover Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield supporting individuals in transitioning from Level 2 rehabilitation placements who have likely experienced a long hospital admission and previous unsuccessful discharges.
This new role will focus on individualised support to a range of service users in collaboration with the wider MDT to identify a range of individualised direct and indirect interventions which will support service users to reduce the harmful impact of their drug and/or alcohol use, and support their recovery in the community. The role will form part of our MDT offer to address rehabilitation needs of the caseload to empower them in their recovery journey.
Our commitment to you if successful is that you will be offered strong support structures including reflective practice and clinical supervision, be supported to develop new skills, psychologically informed training and opportunities to be part of evaluation and development of the service.
