Substance Misuse Social Worker - Community Team

For more than 40 years, the Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS), a registered charity, has been helping people overcome the challenges of drug and alcohol misuse, supporting individuals, families, and communities to build healthier, brighter futures.

Aspire is a long-standing partnership between ADS and Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), bringing together the expertise of both the voluntary sector and NHS services. Led by experienced clinical professionals, including consultant leadership, Aspire combines compassionate, person-centred support with high-quality clinical care.

For over 20 years, the partnership has delivered innovative and effective drug and alcohol services across local communities. Working closely with recovery communities, Aspire is committed to providing flexible, responsive, and recovery-focused services that empower people to achieve lasting positive change.

The drug and alcohol field is experiencing significant investment and development, creating exciting opportunities for career progression, innovation, and professional growth.

Our Community Teams are at the heart of the service, providing long-term case management and support for adults experiencing issues with substance use. Through a strong key-working and care-planning approach, the teams deliver personalised support, specialist prescribing interventions, and harm reduction services, helping people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives within their communities.

We are keen to hear from qualified and registered Social Workers who have experience of, or a genuine interest in, supporting people affected by substance misuse.

For newly qualified Social Workers, we proudly support the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) programme, providing a strong foundation for your career development.
