The Drug and Alcohol Housing Worker provides floating support to people affected by substance misuse who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or living in supported accommodation. Requirements typically include experience supporting vulnerable adults, an understanding of drug and alcohol recovery, safeguarding awareness, case management skills, and the ability to work independently across community settings. A relevant health, social care, housing, or criminal justice qualification is useful, though practical experience may be accepted. The successful candidate is expected to build trusting relationships, complete assessments, create support plans, promote tenancy sustainment, coordinate with health and housing services, maintain accurate records, manage risk, and respond professionally to challenging situations. A full driving licence may be required.
Inclusion is a specialist health and social care organisation providing services for people affected by drug and alcohol use, mental health needs, homelessness, and related disadvantages. It works in partnership with the NHS, local authorities, housing providers, justice services, and community organisations across England. Its services can include community drug and alcohol treatment, recovery support, housing assistance, criminal justice interventions, outreach, and clinical care. Inclusion focuses on person-centred support, harm reduction, safeguarding, recovery, and reducing health inequalities. Employees commonly work with people facing complex and overlapping challenges, so partnership working, compassion, professional boundaries, and evidence-based practice are central to the organisation’s approach. The company is part of the NHS and social care provider landscape and offers opportunities across frontline support, clinical services, administration, management, and specialist recovery roles.
The United Kingdom comprises England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, offering employment across healthcare, social care, technology, finance, education, construction, and public services. Its culture is diverse, with strong regional identities, historic cities, music, sport, and countryside. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Glasgow to quieter coastal and rural communities. Housing and transport costs can be high, particularly in southern England, while many smaller cities offer better value. Eligible overseas workers generally need the appropriate visa, such as a Skilled Worker visa, and must meet sponsorship, salary, English-language, and immigration requirements; social care routes and rules can change. Overseas applicants should check GOV.UK and NHS recruitment guidance, confirm professional registration where relevant, and arrange accommodation, healthcare access, banking, and National Insurance after arrival.
