About the Role
We're looking for a Recovery Coordinator to join our Kirkgate Active Team, supporting adults receiving treatment for opiate use.

You’ll manage your own caseload while working closely with colleagues and partner agencies to provide coordinated, person-centred care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

What You'll Bring
