Finding a job as someone with experience of substance use

Get help to find work as someone with lived experience of substance use

The Scottish Government has created a toolkit to support people with lived experience of substance use who are looking for a job. The toolkit focuses on careers in the drug and alcohol sector, but also includes information for people interested in working elsewhere.

The toolkit includes information about:

• how you can use your experience to help others
• how to plan for employment
• skills and qualifications you might need
• what roles are available
• the job application process
• financial support
• the disclosure process
• support you can get for other careers
