Company Description
Hope and Vision Communities is a charity founded in 2020 by Tony Attwood, who has lived experience of the criminal justice system, and Peter Ross, the judge who sentenced him. Together, they created a distinctive partnership that demonstrates the possibility of change when people with different perspectives work toward a shared goal. The charity provides supported accommodation for people who have recently left residential rehabilitation for addiction, offering a safe, caring community that supports ongoing recovery. Drawing on their unique insight into addiction and re-offending, the founders focus on breaking cycles that harm individuals and society. Hope and Vision Communities is committed to closing gaps in support, promoting hope, and sustaining recovery journeys.

We're looking for a resilient and proactive Women's Recovery Practitioner to lead Hope and Visions first women’s community in Gloucester.

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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two days will be the same. One day you might be supporting a woman with child contact arrangements, the next helping a woman prepare for employment, or arranging repairs to one of our homes.
You will also be liaising with prospective landlords as we grow our community.
If you enjoy variety, can work independently, and want to make a genuine difference in the lives of women, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
The role includes:
- Supporting women to maintain recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
- Providing one-to-one keywork and helping women achieve their personal goals.
- Supporting mothers with parenting, family relationships and reunification where appropriate.
- Facilitating groups and encouraging women into volunteering, education, training and employment.
- Coordinating referrals and welcoming new residents into the service.
- Undertaking drug and alcohol testing.
- Working with landlords and tradespeople to ensure properties remain safe, comfortable and well maintained.
- Helping build a positive, supportive community where women feel valued, respected and able to flourish.
About you
We're looking for someone who can build trusting relationships while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
You will be a confident decision maker and able to work independently.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You may already have experience working in addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, mental health, family support or another trauma-informed setting.
Most importantly, you will be passionate about walking alongside women as they create lasting change in their lives.
What we offer
- 25 days annual leave (pro rata), plus bank holidays
- Pension scheme.
- Flexible working across the week.
- Training and ongoing professional development.
- A supportive, values-led team.
- The opportunity to play a key role in transforming the lives of women and their families.
Our values
We are committed to creating an environment where every woman is treated with dignity, compassion and hope. We welcome applicants who share our commitment to empowering women, promoting equality and working in a trauma-informed way.
As an organisation with a Christian ethos, we ask that applicants are supportive of our vision, mission and Christian ethos.
