As a Recovery Coordinator at HMP Channings Wood, you'll support people to overcome challenges, reduce the impact of drug and alcohol use, and take positive steps towards recovery.

You'll work closely with individuals throughout their recovery journey, helping them identify goals, access support, build resilience, and make sustainable changes that improve their health and wellbeing.

Experience in substance misuse, criminal justice, mental health, social care, or a related field can be beneficial, but we're equally interested in people with strong transferable skills, a passion for supporting others, and a commitment to making a difference.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting time to join our team. HMP Channings Wood is preparing for a significant prison expansion, and our service will grow alongside it to support an increasing prison population.

Joining us now means becoming part of a growing team with exciting opportunities for development, progression, and future career growth.

What You'll Do

• Support individuals throughout their recovery journey.
• Deliver one-to-one interventions and facilitate group sessions.

• Advocate on behalf of service users to improve access to support.
• Work collaboratively with prison staff, healthcare teams, and partner organisations.
• Support people to build confidence, resilience, and independence.
• Monitor progress and review outcomes to support positive change.

What We're Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy helping and supporting others.
• Communicate effectively and build positive relationships.
• Can motivate and engage people who may be reluctant to access support.
• Are organised and able to manage competing priorities.
• Work well independently and as part of a team.
• Have a proactive, solution-focused approach.
• Are committed to learning and developing your skills.

Experience in substance misuse, criminal justice, mental health, social care, healthcare, community work, counselling, coaching, mentoring, or related services is welcomed but not essential. We value attitude, motivation, and transferable skills and will provide support to help you develop in the role.

What We Offer

• 25 days annual leave capped at 30 days. 
• Paid weekly Wellbeing Hour.
• Pension scheme and employee wellbeing support.
• Discounts on shopping, travel, and entertainment.
