Change Grow Live are a charity dedicated to the belief that we can make a difference to our service users lives, offering support and respect in a safe environment, treating each user as an individual and working with them to find the right treatment and care options.
Our core values are ‘be open, be compassionate and be bold’ and our team members apply these daily to achieve our mission of helping people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals, and live life to its full potential.
RISE (a consortium, led by Change Grow Live, including Central and North West London NHS Mental Health Trust and service user-led organisation Build on Belief) is the integrated end-to-end treatment and recovery service which offers a wide range of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions to Ealing residents 18 years and over.
A new RISE Primary Care Assessment Team (PCAT) has been formed to navigate Ealing resident GP & hospital patients who are not currently accessing structured treatment but with concerns around alcohol &/or illicit drug use into RISE and provide psycho-social interventions within the primary care setting.
We therefore have an exciting opportunity for a punjabi speaking volunteer who has the skills and experience to assess and engage with our service users, ensuring that they access the right intervention at the right time, in a way that best meets their needs.
You will work as an integral part of the multi-disciplinary team of Recovery Practitioners, Doctors, Nurses, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists, to deliver high quality provision from point of entry into RISE.
The team is peripatetic rather than hub based so all team members work in a variety of venues, including; GP Surgeries, Substance Misuse Hubs, Home Visits.

You will need to work flexibly across the local community with hours to suit service need.
We will support you in this volunteering role by ensuring that you receive regular supervision, reflective practice / clinical supervision and have a team member on site who you can approach for day-to-day advice and guidance.
