An anti-drug charity is looking for paid staff and volunteers willing to work with addicts.

Banbury Libra, based at the Horton Hospital, Banbury, is holding a recruitment drive on Tuesday, October 16.

Libra, backed by Cranstoun Drug Services, also helps alcoholics and families of drug and drink abusers.

The charity treats drug and alcohol misuse through structured day programmes and community sessions.

Workers for the charity assess addicts' needs and offer support on a one-to-one basis or in groups.

Day programmes develop the skills addicts need to deal with their problems. The programmes take place on Monday to Friday mornings from 10am to 1pm.

Community sessions also help patients with counselling, legal matters, housing, and health care needs.

Paid workers and volunteers are needed in all aspects of the work the charity does.

Anyone interested should attend the recruitment drive at the Turnaround Premises at the Horton between 1pm and 5pm next Tuesday, where there will be information about job opportunities and training programmes with Libra.
