Michelle Webster
Shared Care Team
I joined New Highway in 2003 as a volunteer in the Needle Exchange at Bath but as I enjoyed working with the client group so much I left my work as a dental technician to join the Wiltshire Team as an Arrest Referral Worker and continued working in the Drug Intervention Project for several years before moving to the Shared Care Team about three years ago now – how time flies!

Joanna Smith
Shared Care Team
I began working for New Highway six months ago as a temporary part time shared care worker, I have since taken a permanent post. I have been working in Drug and Alcohol services for the past fifteen years, and originally began volunteering at New Highway in Bath, moving to BDP in Bristol, where I took a post as a GP Liaison worker. After four years there, I moved to HMP Leyhill, where I was a CARATS worker, assisting to run a second stage treatment wing delivering groups and providing one – one support. I then took a part time post at an inner city project KWADS in Knowle West in Bristol, as a Relapse Prevention worker, where I set up an ran a Relapse Prevention programme, groups, one – one and helped to run the Family and Carers support group. Finally before I came to New Highway, I took a temporary post at Turning Point in Wells, as generic drugs worker. I have a Certificate in counselling skills.

I enjoy my work very much, especially working in such a competent, connected team and the opportunity to assist in helping develop services and give input into new ideas and treatment approaches.
