At CrossReach, we take pride in the profound impact our services have on the lives of those we support. Our employees also find fulfilment in their roles, noting the support, enthusiasm, and opportunities for meaningful career development they receive.
In your role as a Support Worker at the new CrossReach Residential Recovery Service, you will be part of this amazing working with individuals to provide crucial support through each person's unique recovery journey. Your primary goal is to help those we support achieve the highest possible quality of life, making a significant difference in their recovery process.
This position demands a deep passion for and understanding of the individuals you support. You will need to look beyond behaviours to recognize the person behind them, building strong, supportive relationships. Creativity and problem-solving skills will be essential, as you will be tasked with finding innovative ways to help residents achieve their goals and address any challenges that arise.
The Highland Residential Recovery Service, funded by the Scottish Government's Rapid Residential Rehabilitation Capacity Program, is a newly established facility set to open later this year. This service aims to reduce waiting times for support, offering immediate residential rehabilitation for up to 22 individuals. Your work here will have a significant impact, not only on the lives of those struggling with substance use but also on their families and local communities. By providing timely support, we enhance recovery outcomes and foster positive community contributions.
To be successful in this role, we would love you to hold an SVQ Level 3, however, if you don't we will support you to achieve this.
