About the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, proactive individual to apply for this key role at Stoke Recovery Service, (SRS).

We are looking for an individual that can demonstrate the following
- A successful track record of teamwork and organisational skills working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and with partner organisations.
- Good communication skills and the initiative to work with minimal supervision.
- Sound knowledge of substance misuse treatment systems and substance misuse awareness.
- The ability to work as part of a team and on own initiative.
- Enthusiasm and the ability to work under pressure, meeting deadlines and prioritise workload effectively.
- Confidence working with other agencies and professionals, as well as demonstrating commitment to achieving targets and working within our ethos of abstinent based recovery.
