As a Recovery Coordinator with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

We are seeking a proactive and motivated professional to represent our service within ward tasking meetings and multi-agency partnership forums, working closely with key stakeholders to identify and support individuals most at risk of harm, exploitation, and offending behaviour.

About the role

• Serve as the navigator for these interventions, advocating on behalf of the service user.
• Carry out comprehensive service user assessments, map community resources, and develop individual care plans that clearly identify how achieving each goal will enable progression in addressing offending/substance use and re‑integrating into the community.
• Identify individuals affected by substance misuse who are contributing to or experiencing anti‑social behaviour, neighbourhood nuisance, and community harm.
• Work as part of a team to identify people who have a history of substance misuse and re‑offending resulting in custodial sentences, and build trusted relationships with individuals who may be resistant to services, using a trauma‑informed and non‑judgemental approach.
• Support information sharing and shared processes between all relevant partners to effect a safe, seamless and successful resettlement plan from prison.
• Work with local community services and/or prison establishment to ensure the provision of naloxone and overdose prevention information is given at the point of release.
• Act as the service representative within ward tasking meetings and multi‑agency forums to identify and prioritise individuals most at risk of harm, exploitation, or offending behaviour.
• Collaborate with partner agencies including Police, Local Authority, housing providers, health services, and community safety teams to share relevant information, contribute to risk management discussions, and support coordinated interventions.
• Liaise with the criminal justice team to ensure effective continuity of care including ReNew’s Integrated Offender Manager, alcohol treatment requirements, drug rehabilitation requirements and Women’s Engagement Worker.
