Overview
Recovery Coordinator
North Manchester | Harpurhey | Permanent | Full Time
Help someone move forward.
Recovery is rarely one decision. It is a series of steps—built through trust, consistency and the right support at the right time.
As a Recovery Coordinator within our North Manchester team, you’ll work alongside people affected by their own drug or alcohol use, as well as those concerned about someone they care about.
Based at our Harpurhey office, you’ll help people understand their options, recognise their strengths and build a recovery plan around what they want to achieve.
This is not simply caseload management. It is connection, coordination and meaningful change—combined.
The impact you’ll make
You’ll support people from their first contact with the service and throughout their treatment and recovery journey. As their main care coordinator, you’ll complete assessments, understand their needs and bring together the right clinical, psychosocial and community support. You’ll help reduce harm, manage risk and connect people with services that can improve their health, wellbeing and independence.
You’ll:
- Complete assessments, recovery plans, risk assessments and regular reviews.
- Coordinate personalised treatment, including clinical and psychosocial interventions.
- Work closely with prescribing colleagues, health services and community partners.
- Respond to safeguarding concerns and make appropriate referrals.
- Promote harm reduction, naloxone, peer support and mutual aid.
- Maintain accurate, timely and confidential records.
