FAST provides a range of programmes and interventions across the continuum of care ranging from harm reduction and crisis intervention through to structured rehabilitation and aftercare programmes for those affected by drug and alcohol use.  FAST has recently expanded into Cabra and operates there as Cabra Alcohol and Drug Service (CADS)

The post holder will work as part of the CADS team to develop services in Cabra through the identification and engagement of people who need drug and alcohol services.   The service will offer supports through one to one and group interventions within a variety of settings, and will adapt and change service delivery as needs arise.

There will be a particular emphasis on developing pathways to engage with and improve their access to services.  The post holder will also support individuals who are impacted by a family member/significant other’s drug or alcohol use.

The post holder will be responsible for keeping accurate records and outcome measurements, providing regular reports and evaluations to inform the development of their programme of work.

It is expected in the normal course of events that the role will evolve as professional, and service demands change. 

As such the post holder will operate flexibility of working hours to include evening work to accommodate people who may not be able to access services during normal working hours.
