The Recovery Practitioner will provide person-centred support to individuals affected by substance use while developing community-based projects and activities. They will build strong partnerships with local networks to ensure accessible support and facilitate group sessions to help young people achieve their recovery goals.
Candidates must have experience in supporting people and a genuine commitment to helping young people achieve positive change. A full driving licence and access to a personal vehicle are essential for traveling across rural locations.
Location: North Northamptonshire
Working Hours: 37 hours per week
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary: £25,877.80 – £30,369.26
Are you passionate about helping young people make positive changes and achieve their recovery goals? Do you enjoy bringing people together, developing new ideas and creating opportunities that make a real difference?
Join Waythrough, one of the UK’s leading mental health and social support charities, and make a lasting impact every day.
We support over 125,000 people each year through our 200 services, empowering individuals to overcome challenges around mental health, housing, and substance use.
As a Recovery Practitioner, you’ll support individuals affected by alcohol and substance use, helping them understand what recovery means for them and supporting them to build the skills, confidence, relationships and opportunities they need to move forward.
But this role is about much more than one-to-one support.
Working across North Northamptonshire and its predominantly rural communities, you’ll play a key role in bringing recovery opportunities directly into local communities. You’ll develop groups, activities, events and projects that engage young people and help them connect, participate and thrive.
You’ll have the opportunity to take an idea and turn it into reality. You'll be identifying opportunities, developing projects, booking venues, bringing people together and facilitating activities. You’ll also build strong relationships with partner organisations and local networks to make sure people can access the right support in the right place.
Travel is an important part of the role, helping us bring recovery support to communities where access can otherwise be a challenge. You’ll need a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied role combining one-to-one support, group facilitation, project development, community engagement and partnership working.
Support recovery: Provide person-centred one-to-one support, assessments and interventions, helping people define and achieve their recovery goals.
Create opportunities: Develop and facilitate engaging groups, activities, events and projects that bring recovery into local communities.
Make recovery accessible: Travel across rural North Northamptonshire to bring support and opportunities closer to where people live.
Build connections: Develop strong partnerships with local organisations, professionals and community networks to improve outcomes and reach more people.
Champion participation: Help young people have their voices heard, shaping activities and opportunities while contributing to a passionate, collaborative team.
Be passionate about people: Have experience supporting people and a genuine commitment to helping young people achieve positive change.
Be a confident facilitator: Enjoy working one-to-one and in groups, with the ability to engage, motivate and build trusting relationships.
Be creative and organised: Have the skills to turn ideas into successful projects, activities and events, from planning through to delivery.
Be a great networker: Communicate confidently and build positive relationships with partners, professionals and communities.
Be flexible and community-focused: Be able to work independently, travel across rural locations and bring energy, initiative and a collaborative approach to the role. A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential.
This is a chance to do something genuinely different. You won’t just be supporting people one-to-one – you’ll help create the opportunities, groups and community connections that make recovery possible.
You’ll join a collaborative and passionate team that cares about young people and values participation. With scope to develop new group work, projects and partnerships, you’ll have the opportunity to put your ideas into action and help shape how recovery is delivered across North Northamptonshire.
If you’re passionate about people, full of ideas and enjoy making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: The salary listed reflects the full earning potential for this role. Starting salaries depend on experience and progression within the band.
