About the role…
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Recovery Coordinator to support Humankind’s Drug and alcohol service within the Dart Team at HMP Haverigg situated in Millom in Cumbria and provides drug and alcohol support to men of all ages.
As a Recovery Coordinator, you will hold a caseload and provide 1:1 support for our service users, from brief interventions through to structured treatment, including groups to ensure that every recovery journey is tailored to individual needs and priorities.
You will take a “whole person” holistic approach to ensure that every service user’s package of care encompasses all areas of their wellbeing, to achieve the best possible outcomes for every person.
You will work alongside the Service Manager, other Recovery coordinators and an administrator.

Demonstrate empathy and inspire others to overcome challenges.
The successful candidate will be subject to a DBS check and a Prison security vetting check.
We do advise applicants to take into consideration the serious nature of some of the offences committed by the service users as you will be working on a 1 to 1 basis with some offenders and the information of their crimes may be triggering for some.
