About this role

Help people change their lives – and develop your career with us.

Are you passionate about supporting people to make positive, lasting changes? Do you have experience working in substance misuse, health, social care or a related field? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) has been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs and alcohol for over 40 years. As a registered charity, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based support that helps individuals, families and communities thrive.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Aspire, our long-established partnership between ADS and Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH). For more than 20 years, Aspire has combined the strengths of NHS clinical expertise with the innovation and flexibility of the voluntary sector to deliver high-quality drug and alcohol services across our communities.

About the role

As a member of our Groupwork Team, you'll play a key role in delivering structured, evidence-based interventions that support people throughout their recovery journey.

Working across a variety of settings, you'll facilitate both face-to-face and virtual group programmes, alongside one-to-one sessions, helping service users build the knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve lasting recovery.

You'll also have the opportunity to

  • Deliver recovery-focused programmes based on recognised behaviour change and recovery models.
  • Support people within their local communities to strengthen long-term recovery.
  • Help develop peer support and recovery networks.
  • Contribute to our accredited mentor programme, supporting volunteers to make a real difference.

This is an exciting time to join the substance misuse sector, with continued investment creating new opportunities for innovation, professional development and career progression.
