Full job description

Overview:
At Change Grow Live, our commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who use our services is unwavering. We provide support, respect, and a safe environment, where we tailor our approach to each individual's needs to find the best treatment and support options.

Guided by our core values of being open, compassionate and bold, our team embodies these principles daily, striving to empower individuals to reshape their lives, foster personal growth, and embrace life to its fullest.

As an Opiate Recovery Coordinator, you'll be part of the Opiate Recovery Team, supporting individuals and families affected by drug and alcohol use.
This is a challenging but rewarding role where you'll work with people experiencing complex needs, helping them achieve their recovery goals through assessment, care planning, harm reduction, and ongoing support.

No two days are the same. You'll need to be flexible, compassionate, curious, and a good listener. You'll build positive relationships, work alongside partner agencies, and support people to make meaningful changes in their lives.

You'll also be responsible for maintaining accurate records and managing your caseload effectively, so attention to detail and strong organisational skills are essential.

Location: Tower Hamlets
Full Time Hours: 37.5 per week

Full-time hours at Change Grow Live are 37.5 hours per week. For part-time roles, the salary and payments will be pro rata based on contracted hours.

Responsibilities:
About the Role:
  • Provide unwavering support to service users from their initial contact with our service throughout their treatment and recovery journey.
  • Implement tailored interventions aimed at reducing the harm caused by opiate use, either through group sessions or one-on-one engagement.
  • Ensure service users receive a comprehensive, recovery-focused detoxification plan, including pre-detox preparation and post-care support.
  • Collaborate with other organisations and the community to enhance the recovery resources available to service users by referring them to mutual aid groups and other networks.
  • Advocate for the involvement of family members, service users, and the community.
  • Serve as a voice for service users in accessing partnership services.
  • Work closely with service users to facilitate their social (re)integration, enabling them to lead fulfilling and purpose-driven lives. This includes promoting recovery, resilience, peer support, and self-determination.
About You:
  • Possess knowledge and experience in delivering interventions for service users affected by opiate use.
  • Excel in both verbal and written communication, with proficient IT skills.
  • Demonstrate proactive qualities, working independently with excellent time management and prioritisation skills.
  • Hold a strong understanding of mental health interventions, services, and best practices.
  • Thrive as a supportive team player with exceptional interpersonal skills, capable of collaborating with a diverse range of professionals, agencies, and internal/external stakeholders.
  • Exhibit the ability to navigate change effectively, always prioritising the needs of service users.
  • Recognise the significance of information governance processes and commit to adhering to all necessary safeguards.
  • Pursue continuous learning opportunities to enhance your professional knowledge and skills, while also contributing to the growth and development of your colleagues.

What We Offer:
  • 25 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays. Additionally, you'll receive one extra day of annual leave for each year of service during your first five years, therefore you will enjoy 30 days of leave after five years with us.
  • A dedicated 'Wellness' hour each week, access to a 'Wellness' hub, and an Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Participation in a contributory pension scheme.
  • A wide range of benefits, including discounts for shopping, cinema, holidays, and more.
  • A warm and supportive team environment.
  • Extensive training, career development, and progression opportunities.
  • Refer a Friend Scheme.
