Recovery Coordinator (Hiring Immediately)

### Job Introduction

**Please Note: A Full UK Driving License and Access to a Vehicle is an
Essential Requirement due to the Outreach Nature of the Role**

As a Young Persons Recovery Coordinator you’ll work with numerous agencies to
help make a difference to the lives in your community. Working in a variety of
settings, you’ll develop personal, flexible and realistic support packages
based on people’s individual circumstances. In this busy role, no two days
will be the same as you manage a large, interesting caseload without
compromising on quality.

You will have opportunities to progress your career with a structured learning
journey and clearly defined career pathways that will enable you to achieve
your long-term goals and work to your strengths.

Whether you are looking to progress into a management and leadership role or
to be a specialist in your field as an Advanced Substance Use Practitioner at
Turning point we will support and encourage you on your career journey.

### Role Responsibility

You will support a caseload of Young People and Young Adults; undertaking
assessments, developing person centred recovery plans and running evidence
based substance use interventions in groups and on a 1:2:1 basis. You will
deliver interventions both face to face and via telephone and video technology
where appropriate.

Multi-agency working with partner agencies including Youth Offending Teams,
Schools, Police, Children’s Homes and Social Services is an essential part of
this role. You will spend your time out and about, working within an outreach
approach. This work includes going into Schools and colleges across the
borough providing presentations to groups and seeing young people wherever the
need is identified.

As the role of Young Persons Recovery Coordinator is a fast-paced one, that
means plenty of variety and challenges to get your teeth stuck into – and a
lot of work, too. So, we’ll expect you to approach things methodically and
think on your feet.

The role may include some outreach across North Tyneside so there is an
expectation that you will manage your own diary to make the best use of your
time.

### The Ideal Candidate

Building on your previous experience of working with young people with
substance use issues or within a similar working environment, you’ll have the
ability to co-ordinate and complete care plans and assessments, possess
knowledge of substance use issues and ideally, have a relevant qualification
and a driving license. Highly motivated and driven to make a real difference,
your work ethic will be strong too – as will your written and verbal
communication skills. Above all, we’re looking for personality. People with
the confidence and passion to fit well into the team and truly help to turn
lives around.

The ability to engage with young people and young adults is a fundamental
skill required for this role.
