Case Manager - Treatment Strand, Hull - NM631

ReNew: Criminal Justice Service – Hull

Case Managers (Treatment)

ReNew offers end to end support for service users with alcohol or drug issues and their families who are involved in the Criminal Justice System. This includes prevention and engagement, early intervention, case management, medically assisted recovery, family interventions, referral into and awareness of 12 Step and CBT based group work and all aspects of aftercare. To deliver this contract we are also utilising the expertise of RAPt and Work Solutions.

We are seeking committed, experienced, outcomes focused and enthusiastic individuals to provide a comprehensive case management function for service users in structured treatment (Social Work Qualification desirable).

Whilst the ReNew Service is committed to early engagement and a proactive approach to reducing the length of time service users are engaged in services, we recognise that for some service users with complex needs a longer intervention is required. The aim is for all service users to successfully exit treatment within 2 years.

As a case manager you will support every element of a service users’ journey through treatment and their holistic recovery plan. This will include delivering direct interventions such as assessment, recovery planning, and utilising skills such as motivational interviewing, ITEP, cognitive behavioural techniques and brief solution focused therapy to assist service users to explore, understand and address substance use, offending and social functioning. The role will also include facilitating access to medically assisted recovery, health and well-being interventions and group-based programmes on offer within the service. It will involve supporting service users to plan and achieve abstinence and to develop a robust aftercare plan designed to promote long-term sustainable change. You will be expected to proactively encourage and enable service users to involve families and carers in their recovery and to support service users to address wider needs relating to physical health, mental health, social functioning, housing, finances, family, education, training and employment.

You must be highly organised and effective in managing your own caseload, including ensuring all service user care is structured, regularly reviewed and there is a clear plan for progression through treatment. You will be responsible for keeping records to a high standard and undertaking all administrative functions relevant to your post.

CRI are committed to creating an inclusive environment, which celebrates difference and allows our staff and service users to flourish. We recruit the very best staff from a wide range of backgrounds, ensuring service users benefit from our diverse skills and expertise. We always work to the principles of fairness and equality of opportunity in all our recruitment processes.

We also expect an assertive approach to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children, young people and adults, and applicants to these posts will need to demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to best safeguarding practice.
