NEW RECRUITS are being sought for the 2008 intake of Scottish Drugs Forum’s ground-breaking Addiction Workers Training Project.
The course – launched in 2004 - trains former problematic drug users for a career in drug and alcohol social care services through a mixture of college-based and placement training. Trainees have the choice of staying on benefits or becoming waged while completing the year-long course, which includes study at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies. www.glasgow-nautical.ac.uk.
Since its inception, more than 40 people have completed the course, with more than 30 securing jobs and other actively seeking work.
AWTP 2008 offers
• Placements in social care agencies
• SVQ Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care
• Regular individual and group support
• Training and employment opportunities on completion.
Applicants must have been free from problematic drug or alcohol use for two years and must be living in the Greater Glasgow area only
Funders include Glasgow City Council/Fairer Scotland Fund and The Robertson Trust and SDF hopes to recruit up to 15 trainees once a funding package is finalised.
Interviews will be held on Monday 12 May to Friday 16 May 2008.
