Help men rebuild their lives beyond drug and alcohol addiction.
Watch genuine transformation happen over months and years.
On-site in Streatham, Croydon & Clapham | £33,500 | Permanent | 35 hours per week
As a Recovery Practitioner, you'll work alongside men as they rebuild their confidence, strengthen relationships, develop practical life skills and prepare for independent living after addiction.
Because residents often stay with us for many months - and sometimes up to two years - you'll have the opportunity to build genuine relationships and see the long-term impact of your work.
"I felt supported but still in charge of my life and choices." — Nehemiah resident
Why Nehemiah?
We're a close-knit charity where relationships matter. You'll quickly get to know every resident, work alongside supportive colleagues and be part of a team where your ideas are valued.
As a smaller organisation, you'll have the opportunity to influence how we develop our services while seeing the difference your work makes over time.
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.
