Recovery Worker

Job content

Do you want to work for a caring organisation that believes in people?

Do you want to make a difference?

As a Recovery Worker with Change Grow Live, you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be. In this role you’ll be working as part of the Inspire teams, based within North Lancashire.

Inspire are looking for a Recovery Coordinator to work in Fleetwood and the Fylde area to support the changing futures agenda.

In December 2020, Lancashire submitted an expression of interest to the Changing Futures Fund. The bid was led by the team at Blackburn with Darwen council on behalf of the whole county (including Blackpool). The EOI proved sound, as a formal bid was invited, and a team involving partners from across Lancashire, including Lancaster University, submitted an ambitious plan, which has now been approved, awarding Lancashire £6.5m.

The Changing Futures programme is a £64 million joint initiative by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK. The fund is for local organisations to work in partnership to better support those who experience multiple disadvantages, including homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues, domestic abuse, and contact with the criminal justice system.

The team supports people with their or their loved ones’ drug and/or alcohol issues.

People in this situation are among the most vulnerable in our communities, often with past experiences of trauma. Getting coordinated support from local services can be difficult, and this can lead to greater risk of homelessness, ill health, and increased contact with the criminal justice system. This in turn can result in greater pressures on services that respond to crises such as A&E, policing and homelessness services.

Every day is different 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.

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear from you so click apply.
