Recovery Coordinator

About the Role

Are you a Recovery Coordinator looking for a new role, if so we would love to hear from you!

We are looking for three Recovery Coordinators, two within the Opiate team and one within the Early Intervention Prevention Team (non opiate use and low level alcohol).

New Vision Bradford is a partnership between the Bridge Project, Project 6 and Waythrough.  Under this umbrella, the partnership delivers an adult substance misuse service for the Bradford and Craven District, aiming to help people tackle the misuse of alcohol and drugs and reduce risk taking behaviours through dedicated prevention, intervention, and support.

The Bridge Project is looking to appoint Recovery Coordinators, on a full-time and permanent basis, under the New Vision Bradford umbrella, based in Bradford but to cover other bases.  It is essential therefore that the successful applicant is able to travel across the District getting to different locations.  Having access to a vehicle would be desirable but not essential.

This role will work as an integral part of the multi-disciplinary team delivering high quality substance misuse treatment provision by supporting service users from point of entry into the service and throughout their treatment and recovery journey.  You will play a crucial role acting as the main care coordinator for an assigned group of service users, providing screening, asset mapping, comprehensive assessments, recovery planning and reviews of care.

In order to be considered for this role you will need 2 years’ full time experience of working with people with alcohol and/or drug problems and/or people with complex and multiple needs within the last 4 years, as well as being able to demonstrate experience of case management and delivering care coordination in substance misuse or a directly related field.

We are looking for someone who is committed and passionate in this field of work and what we do, with a positive and engaging approach to help change lives.  You will be highly organised with excellent communication skills and able to manage your time effectively, working as part of the team with a co-operative approach to supporting colleagues delivering the service objectives to ensure a high-quality service is maintained, whilst applying your knowledge and understanding of drug and alcohol issues.

There is an element of flexibility around working hours required by the postholder.  A willingness to undergo an enhanced DBS check is also a requirement of the post.

In return, as well as a rewarding career, we can offer a competitive salary, 4% pension contribution, generous annual leave entitlement, employee assistance scheme, life insurance, a monthly team wellbeing session and a programme of mindfulness activities for staff.  The Bridge Project is a Mindful Employer.
