An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our North Cumbria RSC Team as a Recovery Co-ordinator—a rewarding and impactful role where you’ll support individuals to achieve lasting change.

Recovery Co-ordination is a varied and meaningful position, where you’ll work closely with individuals at different stages of their recovery journey.

• Support and motivate individuals to progress from engagement through structured treatment to sustained recovery
• Deliver interventions that reduce substance-related harm to individuals, families and the wider community
• Work collaboratively with key partners and colleagues to achieve positive health and wellbeing outcomes

You are passionate about making a difference, with a strong commitment to fairness, inclusion and providing opportunities for all.

You will hold an NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent), or be willing to work towards this in post. You’ll bring a solid understanding of evidence-based interventions, including brief interventions, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Psychosocial Interventions (PSIs), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and ITEP.

You will also have experience delivering both one-to-one and group-based therapeutic interventions, with the ability to build positive, supportive relationships that encourage and sustain change.

You’ll be part of our North Cumbria RSC Team—a supportive, multi-disciplinary team made up of professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

The team includes Recovery Co-ordinators, independent prescribers, group workers, outreach workers, Individual Placement Specialists and dedicated volunteers.
