Addiction Worker Training Project

This post is responsible for co-ordination of a new employability and training programme in Dumfries and Galloway for people with a history of complex drug and alcohol problems who have previously faced multiple barriers to employment. The work is an extension of an already established project in the East and West of Scotland.

In addition to providing support to trainees recruited to the programme, the Co-ordination and Development Officer will work to establish a small network of local stakeholders to support the project - placement providers (drug, alcohol and social care agencies), employability partners, and education providers, to deliver the project outcomes.
