Change Grow Live (CGL) is a national charity committed to helping people make positive changes in their lives. Guided by our values of Be Open, Be Compassionate and Be Bold, we work alongside individuals to find the right treatment, care and support to achieve lasting recovery and wellbeing.
We are looking for passionate and proactive Recovery Coordinators - Rough Sleeping to join a dedicated multi-disciplinary outreach team working across West Sussex (Drug & Alcohol Response Team DART).
This exciting role focuses on engaging people who are experiencing rough sleeping, or who are at risk of rough sleeping, and supporting them to access drug and alcohol treatment, harm reduction interventions and wider recovery support.
This is a rewarding and varied role for someone who is resilient, compassionate and motivated to improve outcomes for people facing multiple disadvantage. Working flexibly across community and street-based settings, you will build trusting relationships, reduce barriers to treatment and provide assertive outreach to individuals who we might usually struggle to engage with traditional services.
You will manage a caseload of service users, completing assessments, recovery planning, risk management and referrals, while working closely with homelessness services, housing providers, health services, criminal justice partners and other community organisations. You will play a key role in supporting continuity of care during accommodation moves, hospital admissions and discharges, or transitions from custody.
The team works across the whole county. You will be based from one of our hubs in Worthing, Chichester, Bognor Regis or Crawley, covering a designated geographical area while supporting colleagues across the wider service when required.
You should be comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions, travelling and adapting your approach to meet people where they are.
No two days are the same. We're looking for someone who is curious, adaptable and a skilled communicator, with a commitment to person-centred, trauma-informed practice. Alongside direct work with service users, you'll maintain accurate records, contribute to safeguarding and risk management processes and support service development through partnership working and shared learning.
