We are The Forward Trust (formerly RAPt and Blue Sky), the social enterprise with charitable status that empowers people to break the often interlinked cycles of crime and addiction to move forward with their lives. For more than 30 years we have been working with people to build positive and productive lives, whatever their past. We believe that anyone is capable of lasting change.
Our services have supported thousands of people to make positive changes and build productive lives with a job, family, friends and a sense of community.
Forward Trust delivers services within the Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRS) as part of the Ministry of Justice’s new probation system, procured by Regional Probation Directors to provide flexible, responsive services to help break the cycle of reoffending.
As a Team Leader in the Dependency and Recovery Services, you will be working within a hybrid model as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team, working across a cluster of delivery sites in London .
You will be managing a team of practitioners (Recovery Navigators/prison link) delivering Dependency and Recovery Services to adult male prison leavers and those on community orders within the Probation services; supporting to implement their action plan and navigate their recovery journey, building trust, and providing support/continuity and signposting.
The Dependency and Recovery Service will not duplicate provision where Commissioned Services are already in place, instead we will work to ensure access and sustained engagement with statutory and existing provision to include building motivation, practical assistance and ongoing support and/or achieve controlled dependent behaviour or abstinence with the aim to reduce re-offending.
On a daily basis you will be allocating referrals, managing a small number of complex cases, supporting and developing your team, and ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met. You will be responsible for delivering on performance targets set by Forward Trust and Commissioners. You will support the Service Manager to ensure data accuracy and data submission deadlines are met.
At times you will be the most senior representative available/on site and will be required to deputise for the Service Manager to ensure the smooth running of the service. You will be in a position of trust and building an excellent relationship with your manager will be a priority, as well as collaborative working relationships with partner agencies.
Co-operative working relationships with other partner agencies and probation staff are vital to this role.
Some degree of flexibility may be required if out of office work is required, but this is a predominately Mon -Fri 09:00-17:00 role.
You may at times be required to attend our head office for training.
Please note you will have to undertake HMPPS Enhanced vetting
