Senior Practitioner (Outreach)

Wirral Community Services

The Wirral Community Service provides a range of services to people dealing with drug and problems. The service is run by Phoenix Futures and incorporates various tiers of support provision..

This is an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to develop their career further in this field.  You will be responsible for delivering services in outreach provision, leading a team of workers and providing different models of engagement. You will practice as an outreach worker, based in the town centre and will be required to lead and supervise staff across our outreach provision, ensuring that performance obligations are met, in line with contract specifications. You will play a key role in developing highly innovative service provision and delivering against contract targets.

Candidates should have experience of working with people misusing alcohol or drugs in a health or social care setting.  A commitment to ongoing profession development is expected, as is an understanding of theoretical models. Experience of supervising others is desirable but not essential as training will be provided.
