Make a positive change – work for The Alcohol & Drug Service

Working at ADS is more than a job, it’s an investment of time to make a difference to the lives of people with substance misuse issues and their families.

The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) are a registered charity who have been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs and alcohol misuse for over 40 years.

Aspire is a partnership between ADS and Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH). It combines the strengths of both NHS provision under the leadership of a consultant with the strengths of the voluntary sector provided by ADS. The partnership has worked together for over 20 years providing Drug and Alcohol Services to our local communities. It is a forward thinking and innovative partnership that works closely with the recovery communities it serves to provide flexible, responsive services which offer the best possible outcomes for its service users and community it serves.

It is a very exciting time to be working in the drug and alcohol field with significant new career opportunities being created.

The Open Access and Assessment (OAT) team provide advice and brief interventions, some structured key working, assessments and a needle exchange service to people entering the treatment system.

If you have relevant experience in the substance misuse field, a relevant degree e.g., psychology, sociology, social work or Diploma in Health and Social Care or equivalent and L3 Tackling Substance Misuse or equivalent we would like to hear from you.

If you are experienced by working in the field but do not have the formal qualifications, we provide a comprehensive package of accredited qualifications and for newly qualified Social Workers we support the ASYE programme.
