Together, we’re launching an innovative Recovery First model, putting lived experience and personalised support at the heart of everything we do.

- Understanding of addiction, recovery and abstinent based approaches
- Personal knowledge or understanding of recovery and recovery communities is desirable.
- A positive, can do attitude and a genuine passion for helping others
- For the Boston vacancy, the ability to communicate in Eastern European languages would be advantageous, where this supports the needs of local communities.
