Role purpose

The London Recovery Network Coordinator will provide day-to-day coordination, oversight and development of the Network, ensuring that it operates effectively, inclusively and in line with its strategic objectives.

The postholder will act as a central connecting point between recovery communities, peer-led organisations, treatment providers, commissioners and London-wide partners, supporting collaboration, shared learning and system influence. A key aspect of the role will be supporting the meaningful involvement of people with lived experience and helping to build the foundations for the Network’s long-term sustainability.

Background

The London Recovery Network (LRN) brings together individuals and organisations committed to supporting recovery from problematic drug and alcohol use. The Network aims to improve awareness, visibility and connectivity across the recovery landscape, enabling professionals, peers and communities to better understand and share available recovery support across London.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in coordinating, developing and strengthening the London Recovery Network as it continues to grow and progresses towards a more formal, sustainable and potentially standalone organisation.

The role is hosted by Collective Voice, acting as the umbrella organisation for the London Recovery Network.

While the role is hybrid, there will be a requirement to attend regular meetings and events in London and build local relationships, so the successful candidate will need to live within a one-hour commuting distance from Central London.

We plan to hold interviews in person in Central London on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd of September.

Communications and knowledge sharing

• Coordinate LRN communications activity, including newsletters, briefings and digital content, in line with agreed priorities.
• Support the development of resources that promote recovery visibility, challenge stigma and highlight community-based support.

Funding, finance and sustainability

• Actively support and contribute to fundraising and income generation activity, identifying opportunities to support the Network’s sustainability.
