Role
Join a team that’s helping people rebuild their lives.
At Moving On Inverclyde, we believe recovery is about more than stopping substance use. It’s about helping people reconnect with themselves, rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships and move towards a life that feels meaningful and stable.
We are looking for a compassionate, motivated and proactive Recovery Worker to join our growing team and support individuals through our structured 4-phase recovery programme.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work within a respected recovery organisation that delivers person-centred, trauma-informed support across Inverclyde. You’ll work alongside a passionate team who genuinely care about the people we support and the difference we make within our communities.
About The Role
As a Recovery Worker, you will support individuals from initial assessment right through to aftercare and ongoing recovery support.
- Hold a caseload and work closely with individuals to develop personalised recovery action plans
- Review progress, identify barriers, celebrate achievements and connect people into wider support where needed
- Confidently plan and deliver structured group work sessions
- Engage individuals within group settings, encourage participation and create a safe, supportive and recovery-focused environment
