An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Edinburgh Recovery Services. Having recently been awarded further funding to support taking forward the Scottish Government MAT Standards, we now have Recovery coordinator vacancies in our Edinburgh Drug & Alcohol services.
We are looking for motivated and caring candidates, with knowledge and experience of supporting individuals affected by drug or alcohol use.

We work in partnership with our colleagues in Health and Social Care providing harm reduction and psychosocial interventions to enable individuals to move towards recovery.

You can also take an hour out of work each week to do something that improves your wellbeing or personal development. We are a Living Wage Employer. That means we pay at least the real Living Wage to all of our staff.
This is what one of our Recovery Co-ordinators had to say “I like the team spirit, that we all bring something different and we always put the people who use our service first”.
Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you.
