What do Horizon Workers do?
The work of Horizon is centred around group activities. Horizon workers plan and prepare the activities and support service users through them.
These activities range from groups on Harm Reduction and on Understanding Addiction to managing and planning an allotment to provide fresh food for lunch, to music and art therapy to literacy, numeracy and IT skills.
Because of the range of activities provided in our Horizon Project, a formal qualification in substance misuse, while desireable, is not necessary - a proven skill or a qualification relevant to one of our activities, along with good engagement skills, would be just as welcome.
