We're looking for a

Criminal Justice Recovery Worker to join a well-established substance misuse charity in South London.

Substance Misuse / Recovery background who has a good understanding of the criminal justice system.

You'll be working with

• Prison leavers
• Referrals from Probation
• Court referrals
• Clients with substance misuse and complex needs

A key part of the role will be producing reports for the courts, alongside managing a caseload, completing assessments and providing recovery-focused and harm-reduction support.

The role is based from the

Croydon office, with regular visits to

two local courts, both within walking distance of the office.

What they're looking for

✅ Criminal Justice / Probation experience

or strong Substance Misuse Recovery experience

✅ Understanding of the Criminal Justice System

✅ Experience working with complex needs and safeguarding

✅ Caseload management experience

✅ Strong report writing and communication skills

✅ Confident engaging with service users and partner agencies

Good onboarding and training provided - so candidates with strong substance misuse experience but less direct criminal justice experience will still be considered.
