Are you an experienced support worker with management skills supporting those with substance misuse issues looking for a role within Flintshire and Wrexham?

At Nacrowe want a society where everyone has the chance to succeed and the support they need to achieve their potential.



The people we work with are often at a point of change. Many have struggled; growing up in care, facing homelessness, failed by the education system, or caught up in the tide of the justice system. They may have been rough sleeping, involved in the justice system, experiencing mental health issues, recovering from drug and alcohol misuse, or at risk of domestic abuse or homelessness.


We believe that everyone deserves a good education, a safe and secure place to live, a right to be heard, and the chance to start again, with support from someone on their side. Nacro provide practical help and personalised support through our housing, education, justice, and health and wellbeing services. We work closely with people to help them build independence and to move forward to a better future.
