About the Service
New Vision Bradford provides support to adults across the Bradford District who are experiencing issues with drug and alcohol use.
About the Role
We’re looking for a compassionate and motivated Recovery Coordinator to support people throughout every stage of their recovery journey, from initial assessment and engagement through structured treatment and towards sustained recovery.
As a Recovery Coordinator, you’ll work as part of the wider service to provide person-centred treatment and recovery support, working collaboratively with colleagues, partner agencies, families and other professionals to help people achieve positive and sustainable outcomes.
What You’ll Do
- Manage a caseload, developing, implementing and regularly reviewing individual recovery and treatment plans.
- Complete triage, screening and comprehensive assessments with people accessing the service.
- Support individuals to progress from initial engagement through structured treatment and towards sustained recovery.
- Deliver high-quality one-to-one and group psychosocial interventions tailored to individual needs.
- Complete risk assessments, risk management plans and safeguarding assessments, taking appropriate action to protect people from harm.
- Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary colleagues, families, partner agencies and community services to provide coordinated support.
- Help people access treatment, community resources and opportunities that strengthen their recovery and independence.
- Support harm-reduction activities, which may include drug screening, BBV testing and immunisation services, needle exchange and tailored drug and alcohol harm-reduction interventions.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date case records, reports and information using relevant systems.
- Promote visible recovery and help ensure peer-support opportunities are accessible to people using the service.
