Family Team Recovery Worker at Oasis Project

Purpose of the role:

Oasis Project provides structured drug and alcohol treatment and recovery services to support women to achieve lasting and positive change.

Working within Oasis Project’s Adult Services, the Family Team Recovery Worker will be part of a dedicated team supporting women, children, and families impacted by drug and alcohol use.

The Family Team is a key part of Oasis Project’s early intervention strategy, using a proactive, assertive, and whole-family approach that is trauma-informed and gender-focused. It also includes working with some fathers where appropriate.

As a Family Team Recovery Worker, you will:

• Work in partnership with parents and multi-disciplinary teams to strengthen safety, stability, and resilience within families by working holistically to address the complex needs associated with drug and alcohol misuse. This includes early intervention to support mothers with an identified drug and alcohol need where there are indications of risk, and intervention is necessary to prevent harm escalating or repeating.
• Provide support for mothers whose children are open to Children’s Social Care due to safeguarding and child protection concerns. This involves working closely with children’s social workers, contributing to child protection processes by attending child protection conferences, core groups, and multi-agency professionals’ meetings. A key part of your role will include writing high-quality reports for these meetings and for POCAR (Parenting our Children Accessing Recovery) interventions, ensuring that safeguarding concerns are clearly communicated and addressed.
• You will work in partnership across Oasis Project services for children, young people and adults to manage risk and ensure safe, effective wrap-around support for families is well-coordinated.
• Engage in some outreach activities, including home visits and lone working, to ensure accessible and responsive support.

You will have:
