Anyone can be affected by substance misuse. It can impact on all kinds of people in society - people from different ethnic groups, age groups, social classes, cultures and professions.
And the problems don't just affect the person using the drugs. They also affect the individual's friends and family, the wider community and society in general.
That's what makes working in the substance misuse profession so challenging. You're not just dealing with one issue, but a multitude of them.
There are all kinds of roles, every one of which offers superb career opportunities in a unique professional sector not to mention immense job satisfaction, as you enable sometimes-desperate people to regain control of their own lives.
Just as anyone can be affected by substance misuse, we welcome individuals from all backgrounds into our workforce. As you can imagine the people you could be working with will come from all walks of life and therefore we require you to be non-judgmental and open-minded. Your diversity in terms of age, gender, race, culture, or religion brings value to our sector.
We do not judge applicants on anything other than their skills and ability to do a good job - fit for the drugs and alcohol field.
