Following securing additional funding, the Derbyshire Recovery Partnership (DRP) are looking to recruit a permanent Recovery Connector Practitioner for the Erewash and South Derbyshire region of our Derbyshire service.
This community-based team works with people living in Derbyshire that are in recovery from drug and/or alcohol use. This role will focus on linking people in with local recovery communities, teams, projects and mutual aid groups. You will work alongside a team of 4 Recovery Connector workers, a Tier 4 Rehab Worker and a Lived Experience Pathway Coordinator, and will be led by a Recovery Connector Team Manager.
The role
In this community-based role you will deliver recovery-focused interventions to clients on your caseload. You will engage clients accessing treatment at DRP in recovery-focused sessions and will support them to attend local recovery support services, or other structured meaningful activities which may also include supporting them to attend local mutual aid meetings and recovery-led activities. This role will involve helping to deliver some small recovery-oriented group work sessions to people in recovery (in person and online), including open peer-led recovery groups, structured relapse-prevention groups and facilitating SMART meetings. Within this role you will complete accredited SMART facilitator training. This role will involve advocating for clients, travelling with them to appointments and meetings to help build their confidence and overcome barriers to accessing aftercare and community-based recovery support. You will put the client at the centre of your work, helping them to achieve their personal goals and will complete a strengths-based assessment and recovery plans together.
This vacancy is for a full time and permanent role. You would be working 37.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday, typically within 9am-5pm, but there are opportunities to work flexibly (eg if you were supporting someone to attend an evening AA/NA meeting, you may agree with your line manager to work 11am-7pm that day).
In this role we'll give you lots of training and all the support you need to thrive and succeed in your role and find your place amongst our incredible and collaborative team. We'll train to to be a SMART facilitator too.
You must have a driving licence and access to a vehicle for work for this role, due to the rurality of the region.
The core focus of this new role is helping people in recovery to engage and reconnect with structured recovery support, groups and activities within their local community; helping them to improve health, unlock potential and achieve personalised recovery goals. You will help us to break down barriers, reduce stigma and promote visible recovery.
The Location
You will be based in our Ilkeston or Swadlincote office (whichever is closer to where you live) and you will be able to claim mileage for your journeys around the area you'll be working in. Applicants for this role must have a driving licence with access to a vehicle for work due to the geography of the region this role covers and the limitations of public transport.
About You
Completing strengths-based assessments, creating recovery plans and building good working relationships is vital in this role, therefore successful applicants will have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. As this role will involve documenting work completed with clients and filling in spreadsheets, you will need very good IT skills and be proficient in the use of Microsoft Word and Excel. We encourage applications from people who are creative in their ideas for recovery groups/activities and are passionate in supporting people to achieve and maintain long term abstinence/reduced use and improve health outcomes.
Applicants for this role must have a driving licence with access to a vehicle for work due to the geography of the region this role covers and the limitations of public transport.

*Job description is attached. Please ensure that when completing your application form and supporting statement, you detail how you meet the person specification as this will help us assess how your skills and experiences align with the requirements of the role.
Your Rewards
Starting salary of £24,637 with opportunity to access potential yearly salary increments subject to appraisal, meaning potential salary increase up to £28,000 per annum (pro rata)
