 An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Change Grow Live substance misuse service in Warwickshire as an Aftercare Navigator (Recovery Champion).

CGL Warwickshire is a fully integrated recovery focused substance misuse service working to provide drug and alcohol treatment. The service delivers a range of services - from open access, harm reduction, medically assisted recovery and specific recovery interventions, group work and Criminal Justice interventions.

The service comprises a range of interventions including key work and clinical coordination, psychosocial interventions, group work, family work and complex needs.

The role will involve working with service users to support them in building and utilizing recovery capital to move into long‑term recovery, supporting and delivering PODs or one‑to‑one interventions. The ability to work within a multi‑disciplinary team is also essential.

You will be a positive role model ideally in recovery or have lived experience, supporting service users and promoting visible recovery by initiating and maintaining links with Warwickshire’s recovery community and mutual aid. In addition, you will promote service user involvement across the service to ensure we are providing the best service we can.

In addition to a sound understanding and knowledge of evidence-based drug and alcohol related issues and interventions, the successful candidate will need to demonstrate a real passion and commitment to delivering services within a recovery and outcome focused environment.
