Swindon | Home Based | Full Time | 37.5 Hours per Week
Recovery doesn't always begin by walking through a door.
Sometimes it starts with a phone call. A video conversation. A moment when someone feels ready to reach out, explore their options and make a positive change.
At Change Grow Live, we're expanding how people access support through innovative digital services that make help more accessible, flexible and responsive. We're looking for a Digital Engagement Worker to join our Swindon service and play a key role in helping people connect with support in ways that work for them.
Guided by our values of Be Open, Be Compassionate and Be Bold, we're creating opportunities for people to access advice, guidance and support earlier, wherever they are and whenever they're ready to engage.
This is more than a digital support role. It's an opportunity to help shape the future of recovery services while empowering people to build healthier, more positive futures.
As a Digital Engagement Worker, you'll use technology and human connection to engage people experiencing lower-level drug and alcohol concerns through a programme of structured virtual support.
Through telephone, Microsoft Teams and other digital platforms, you'll create safe and supportive spaces where people feel heard, understood and motivated to take positive steps forward.
Every conversation is an opportunity to help someone recognise their strengths, build confidence and move closer to the goals that matter to them.
You'll deliver assessments, recovery planning, brief interventions, harm reduction advice and ongoing support, tailoring your approach to individual needs and circumstances. You'll use motivational interviewing and trauma-informed approaches to encourage engagement, promote wellbeing and support lasting change.
Working closely with colleagues across Change Grow Live and local partner organisations, you'll help create seamless pathways between digital and community-based support, ensuring people can access the right help at the right time.
While this is primarily a home-based role, you'll be supporting people across Swindon and may occasionally work from local service locations when required. Knowledge of local services, treatment pathways and wider support networks will help you connect people with opportunities that can make a meaningful difference in their lives.
Location: Home based, supporting people across Swindon, with occasional travel to local service locations as required.
Hours: 37.5 hours per week.
Contract Type: Permanent.
Please note: The role includes some evening and weekend working as part of a rota.
Please note: Full-time hours at Change Grow Live are 37.5 hours per week. For part-time roles, the salary and any associated payments will be pro rata based on contracted hours.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for someone who combines warmth with professionalism and empathy with confidence.
You'll bring experience of working with people affected by drug and alcohol use, or within related health, wellbeing, social care or community services.
Most importantly, you'll be someone who genuinely believes in people's ability to make positive changes in their lives.
You'll be comfortable working digitally, building rapport remotely and adapting your approach to meet individual needs.
You don't just see circumstances. You see strengths, possibilities and potential.
