This is a new and exciting opportunity to lead on an innovative role within our Recovery Services. The post holder will work within a six-bed pre-rehabilitation service for young people affected by ketamine use, providing intensive, person-centred support to prepare individuals for successful engagement in residential treatment at RISE. The role focuses on building therapeutic relationships, promoting motivation for change, and supporting young people to address the physical, psychological and social impacts of substance use.

The post holder will act as a keyworker, undertaking comprehensive assessments, risk assessments and support plans that identify individual needs, strengths and goals. They will provide regular one-to-one interventions, coordinate care with internal and external partners, and support service users to develop the skills, resilience and stability required to transition into residential rehabilitation.

Working within a trauma-informed and recovery-focused framework, the post holder will support young people to improve their health and wellbeing, manage risks, increase engagement with treatment, and overcome barriers to recovery. They will play a key role in ensuring a seamless pathway between the pre-rehabilitation service and RISE Residential Rehabilitation, providing continuity of care and promoting positive outcomes for service users throughout their recovery journey.

Although based within the pre-rehabilitation setting and expected to work with a high degree of autonomy, the post holder will remain an integral member of the wider RISE team. They will contribute to multidisciplinary discussions, share information appropriately,



participate in team meetings and service development activities, and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure a consistent and joined-up approach to supporting service users. The role requires the ability to work independently, manage competing demands, and exercise professional judgement while maintaining robust links with the wider therapeutic community and organisational values of RISE.
