Overview
Do you want to work for a caring organisation that believes in people?
Do you want to make a difference?
As a Recovery Coordinator with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.
Responsibilities
With this role you’ll be working as part of the EMORSS team based within the prison and the community.
The team supports offenders with their drug and/or alcohol issues.
No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.
You’ll have to record information about what you do, so enjoying a bit of paperwork and attention to detail is important. But most of the time you’ll be enjoying working with people from all backgrounds, making a difference to their lives.
This is what one of our people who use our service had to say
"Single handedly, Change, Grow, Live has helped me acquire the tools that allow me to manage my life properly."
Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
