About the Role

Cranstoun makes life better for those affected by alcohol and drugs and complex needs and our skilled and compassionate people work closely with services users and their families to change and save lives. We combine proven expertise in treatment and recovery with innovative approaches and actively involve those we help in improving the design of the services we provide.

This is an exciting opportunity to become a part of a new service to engage members of the local community who are caring and/or are close to someone who has a dual diagnosis, via a range of methods including assertive outreach, drop-ins, satellite and peripatetic working. You will support carers to build resilience and improve their wellbeing through facilitating support groups and delivering relevant themed group sessions.

The groups currently run in Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne; travel to other areas of the county may also be required.

Experience of working with family/carer issues is essential as is a thorough understanding of drug and alcohol misuse and mental health issues. You will be a competent communicator, with the ability to work independently and be comfortable and enthusiastic, both with the highlighted client group and with working in partnership.

Above all, you’ll be interested in becoming part of an innovative and proactive service and welcome the opportunity to tackle challenges, look for solutions and ultimately work in a sector that impact’s on people’s lives.
