We’re looking for a Criminal Justice Recovery Worker to join a well-established substance misuse charity in South London.

The ideal candidate will have Criminal Justice experience, although they would also consider someone with a strong 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.
