The ADS is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity. We promote the fair and equal treatment of potential and existing employees and service users.

For over 30 years we have delivered effective interventions in towns and cities. Weve helped thousands of local people on the road to recovery across Humberside Lincolnshire and Yorkshire as we help the national strategy on a local basis.

The Alcohol & Drug Service is a charity (Registered Charity; and a Company Limited by Guarantee Company No. ). The majority of our funding comes through contracts with statutory commissioners such as Local Authorities and the NHS but we receive valuable income from charitable grants and individual fundraising efforts which supports many of our most innovative services. We are governed by a Board of Trustees.

We ensure that the organisation is run well and we are a part of the Investors in People scheme a quality framework which is independently audited. We currently hold the Silver award.

But even though weve been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs or alcohol misuse for over 30 years some people may not have heard of us. This is because we always work in partnership and often deliver our services and projects which have their own names/identities.
