About Us
We are a registered charity who have been transforming the lives of people affected by problematic drugs and alcohol use for over 40 years.
Partnership
We work in partnership with Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH). It combines the strengths of both NHS provision under the leadership of a consultant with the strengths of the voluntary sector. The partnership has worked together for over 20 years, providing Drug and Alcohol Services to our local communities. It is a forward‐thinking and innovative partnership that works closely with the recovery communities it serves to provide flexible and responsive services which offer the best possible outcomes for its service users and community.
Our Work
We have a variety of multi-disciplinary teams based in and around Doncaster delivering psychosocial interventions to individuals with problematic drug and alcohol use. The teams specialise in parental substance misuse, criminal justice, outreach, group work, early intervention, assessments, and provide services at community hubs.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will join the Senior Leadership Team and focus on ensuring non‐clinical practice across the service is coherent, complementary, of high quality and recovery‐oriented. They will take the lead on practice development and monitor against associated governance. The role will embed reflective practice into the service culture and values. They will support the quality of student placements, traineeships, ASYE programmes and Practice Educators to ensure they are compliant with requirements and of a high standard. Although the principal accountability is practice‐oriented, as a member of the senior leadership team there are specific operational management duties and an expectation that the role will support operational managers when required.
Requirements
We are looking for someone with a track record of delivering improvement and innovation, who is forward‐thinking and driven by professional curiosity and the attainment of high standards of service delivery. The successful candidate must be a qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England, with experience or an interest in working in a specialist field and be able to lead the growth of Social Workers under a Principal Social Worker. The candidate must, by the commencement of employment, have the right to work in the UK.
