Role
The Nest Wellbeing Group (The Nest) are a community-led charity at the forefront of delivering Health & Wellbeing activities for the local community in Cumnock and surrounding area.
Our programmes exist to improve the lives of those who often face additional barriers or challenges. Building on the strengths, interests and aspirations of local people is at the heart of everything we do.
We harness the unique ability of bringing people together and building a stronger, more resilient community. By bringing people together, we aim to help with some of society’s most complex issues and have a real impact in the local community. From tackling social isolation and loneliness; improving health and wellbeing; building skills, confidence and opportunities; and ensuring people can become the best version of themselves. We help people to become confident change makers in their community and they have the best opportunity to thrive.
We offer a vital lifeline to those facing significant challenges and are the first port of call for many seeking emergency support.
We run a Community Living Room (Barrhill Centre) which offers a safe environment for people in recovery to connect with people who promote the ‘warmth of welcome.’ This is a home from home, where people can be themselves and be accepted for who they are and what they bring. Where they feel relaxed, feel heard, and are introduced to other people, where and when they need it.
Job Overview
The Recovery Coordinator Officer will play a key role in planning and delivering the key areas of the programme below (1-3). They will help create a safe and positive environment where people who struggle with addiction feel accepted and understood. They will also develop strong pathways with partners in order to connect people with additional support where required.
The Moving Up Moving On (MUMO) programme offers vital, support for those facing significant challenges with addiction, who are often overlooked or simply cast aside as ‘non-engaging’ because the right support
Compassion, hope, togetherness, integrity, and love is not available. We believe the more connected people are, the safer they are - this is particularly true for those in recovery.
Where appropriate, we encourage people to come together from different corners of the community for shared opportunities and experiences. We feel this helps to build a more recovery aware community and a better sense of togetherness.
We adopt the approach that ‘everyone is in recovery from something’ and believe everyone has the right to be heard and celebrated.
Key programme areas: Our MUMO programme will promote ‘active recovery’ by:
- Delivering activities, opportunities and experiences
- Collaborate with partners to offer greater support for mental health.
- Collaborate with partners to deliver more progressive ways to treat addiction.
Working Conditions
The role will be delivered from our main base at the Barrhill Community Centre, although programme delivery is likely to include other venues within Cumnock and the surrounding area.
The job holder will report to / be line managed by the Wellbeing Manager. Kindness should be at the core of everything they do. Every person who works or volunteers at The Nest understands that each community member we support has their own voice and story to share. By joining the team, they will have an opportunity to give something back.
