Job description

The Derbyshire Recovery Partnership are looking to recruit a Trainee Recovery Connector Practitioner for the Chesterfield and North East area of our Derbyshire service.

The Recovery Connector team works with people living in Derbyshire that are in recovery from drug and/or alcohol use and focuses on linking people in treatment with their local recovery communities, teams, projects and mutual aid groups.

In this Trainee role you will work alongside a team of Recovery Connector workers and drug and alcohol key workers and will be led by a Recovery Connector Team Manager. Within your team you will also have a new Lived Experience Pathway Coordinator whose role is to support people with lived experience to access a range of skills, experience and qualifications with drug and alcohol work, supporting people to then gain employment within the field of substance use.

As a trainee, you will develop the skill set, knowledge and competencies to become a Recovery Connector Practitioner, via a mixture of training, coaching and practice-based learning.The role is based in a busy community drug and alcohol service, working with people using substances in the northern area of Derbyshire. It will involve developing the skills to compete recovery assessments, risk assessments and recovery plans, alongside a range of harm reduction and relapse prevention interventions. You will connect people accessing treatment within our service to their local community recovery support services, or other structured meaningful activities, which may also include supporting them to attend local mutual aid meetings. This role will involve helping to deliver some small recovery group work sessions, both in person and online. This role will involve advocating for people accessing our service, travelling with them to recovery-based appointments and meetings to help build their confidence and overcome barriers to accessing aftercare and recovery support. You will put the individual at the centre of your work, helping them to achieve their personal recovery goals. Building good working relationships with other services and projects will be vital to this role, so we're looking for someone with good communication skills. As this role will also involve recording notes from your appointments and completing some data-related work on Microsoft Excel, you will need good written/IT skills.

The core focus of this role is helping people to engage with recovery-focused support and reconnect them with their local community; supporting them to access groups and activities, helping them to improve health, unlock potential and achieve personalised recovery goals. You will help us to break down barriers, reduce stigma and promote visible recovery.

You would be working 37.5 hours per week, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm typically, but there may also opportunities to work flexibly. As a Trainee Recovery Connector, we'll give you lots of training and coaching alongside all the support you need to thrive and succeed in your role and findyour place amongst our incredible and collaborative team. We'll train you to to be a SMART facilitator too. You will be based in our Chesterfield office and will be able to claim mileage for your journeys around the area you'll be working in (Chesterfield, Bolsover, Shirebrook and Clowne). Our Trainee roles are fixed term for 6 months and during this time there may be opportunities to apply for permanent Recovery Connector or Drug and Alcohol Practitioner vacancies within the service.
