Want to develop a career working in substance use treatment? Then come to work with our dedicated team, committed to supporting a change in the lives of those using drugs and alcohol.



The Role
This role will be based at our Erewash office in Ilkeston, working 37.5 hours per week Monday-Friday 9am-5pm across Ilkeston and Long Eaton. Start date for this role will be 5th January 2026.

We are looking for a Substance Misuse Practitioner to manage a caseload of service users presenting with drug and alcohol issues. The role will involve offering a range of harm reduction interventions and structured key working, helping engage service users in a care-planned and recovery focussed way to attain improved health outcomes and achieve their personalised treatment goals.

This will involve you effectively organising and delivering 1-2-1 care-planned support and facilitating group work sessions as required, using appropriate models, interventions and approaches tailored to meet the individual needs of service users. Furthermore, you will support them in their individual, person-centred journey to build recovery capital by partnership working with other support agencies and local projects. You will work closely with specialist teams within our service, including recovery connectors, employment workers, rehab workers, counsellors and clinical colleagues.

We encourage and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and believe it is important to include people with lived experience to ensure the needs of the people we support are represented. We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where everyone is free to be themselves and we ensure equity of opportunity.

If you want to help other people change their lives, we'd love to have you in our team. You'll give people support and inspiration that will help them change their lives for the better.



The Location

This wonderful, diverse team is knowledgeable and supportive, with a wealth of knowledge to impart.



About You
