Are you passionate about supporting people to make positive changes in their lives? Do you have the skills, experience to engage with individuals who may face barriers to accessing health, social care and community services?
We are seeking a motivated and compassionate Support Time and Recovery (STR) Worker to join our Integrated Non-Custodial Services (INCS) Liaison and Diversion Team. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a multi-agency environment, supporting people who come into contact with the criminal justice system and who may have mental health needs, or other vulnerabilities.
Based across Bridewell Police Station and Probation Service in central Bristol, you will work closely with registered practitioners, probation colleagues, and community organisations to support individuals in accessing the services they need. You will provide practical and emotional support, helping people overcome barriers to engagement, improve their wellbeing, and reduce the risk of further offending.
You will be part of a supportive and innovative team committed to improving outcomes for individuals who are often underserved and face multiple disadvantages. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference, supporting people to access the right help at the right time while contributing to safer communities.
