We're looking for a passionate and proactive Outreach Inclusive Recovery Worker to join our team on a full-time basis (35 hours per week). This is an exciting opportunity to help improve access to recovery services for underserved communities across Medway, with a particular focus on Eastern European communities.
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have experience working with Eastern European communities and understand the cultural, social and practical barriers that can impact access to support services. Your insight and ability to build trust will play a key role in helping people access the support they need.
You'll engage with people who may face barriers to treatment, build meaningful community relationships, and support individuals to access recovery, health and wellbeing services.
What You'll Be Doing
- Delivering outreach in community settings across Medway
- Building relationships with underrepresented and migrant communities
- Reducing barriers to support, including stigma, language and mistrust
- Managing a caseload and delivering person-centred recovery support
- Completing assessments, recovery plans and harm reduction interventions
- Developing partnerships with community groups, voluntary organisations and key stakeholders
- Identifying gaps in service access and helping shape more inclusive services
- Managing risk, safeguarding concerns and maintaining accurate records

- An understanding of substance use, recovery and person-centred support
- A commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and anti-discriminatory practice
- The ability to work independently and build connections within local communities
We'd especially love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience working with migrant and/or Eastern European communities
- Outreach or community engagement experience
- Lived experience of substance use and recovery (where you choose to disclose this)
- The ability to communicate in Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian or another Eastern European language (desirable, not essential)
