Recovery Coordinator

This is an exciting opportunity to join Change Grow Live as part of a new service in Blackpool, supporting individuals and communities affected by substance use.

At Change Grow Live, we believe in people and their ability to change, grow, and thrive. Guided by our values — Be open, be compassionate and be bold — we work every day to help people build healthier, safer, and more meaningful lives.

As we begin this new chapter in Blackpool, we are looking for two Recovery Coordinators to help shape a service that is compassionate, innovative, and rooted in the needs of the local community.

This is more than a Recovery Coordinator role. It is an opportunity to be part of building a new service from the beginning — helping to create positive pathways for recovery, strengthen local partnerships, and make a lasting impact for the people we support.

As a Recovery Coordinator, you will work directly with people affected by substance use, you will support people throughout their treatment and recovery journey, providing person-centred interventions that promote recovery, resilience, and independence.

You will support people throughout their treatment and recovery journey, providing person-centred interventions that promote recovery, resilience, and independence.

The role will include:

• Managing a caseload of service users

• Delivering harm reduction and recovery-focused interventions
• Supporting people to improve wellbeing and social inclusion
• Facilitating group work and structured support sessions
• Working collaboratively with partner agencies and multidisciplinary teams
• Promoting long-term recovery and positive outcomes

As part of a developing service, you will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas, support innovation, and help shape how support is delivered locally.

 

We are looking for people who are compassionate, motivated, and committed to supporting recovery.

You will ideally have:

• Experience working within substance misuse, mental health, health, social care, or related services
• A good understanding of recovery and harm reduction approaches
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to manage competing priorities within a busy service
• Good IT and organisational skills
• A collaborative and flexible approach to team working
