Sinfin Family Hub
Permanent, part time 22.5 hours per week
The Aquarius drug and alcohol family safeguarding team offers a unique service supporting those affected by a loved one's substance misuse. Whether they are affected by their partner, parent, relation, or child, our specialist Affected Other service will support them to improve their knowledge around substance misuse, enhance their resilience, strengthen their support networks, and develop their coping strategies.
This is a unique role which would suit someone with a good level of understanding of substance misuse and supporting those affected by it. The role will work alongside the wider safeguarding team, so knowledge of social care would be advantageous but not essential. In this role, you will be working with a wide range of clients, including those whose children are at risk of both sexual and criminal exploitation.
You will be responsible for building relationships with your clients and delivering interventions. You will need to be flexible in your approach and creative to engage the client in a person-centred way. You will also promote the service across the City and liaise with the appropriate third-party agencies, facilitate group work, and provide training. Additionally, you will collaborate with other members of the Aquarius safeguarding team to provide a whole family support service.
If this is the next role in your career, please apply ASAP as interviews are immediately available.
The ideal candidate will have experience in:
- Working with those in drug and alcohol addiction (we welcome applications from candidates with lived experience)
- Safeguarding
- Delivering interventions
- A full driving license is preferable as travel across Derby City is required
Working days can be negotiated as part of the interview process.
We are committed to increasing our diversity and we would welcome applications from those with lived experience and/or who are from a Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic background.
This is a rolling recruitment process; shortlisted candidates will be interviewed as and when they apply.
