Cavdas Community Connections Co-ordinator

2 months ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Recovery Cymru Full time

Background to CAVDAS:
The CAVDAS Alliance brings together the skills, experience and expertise of three

Welsh substance use organisations - Barod, Kaleidoscope and Recovery Cymru
- and the Cardiff and Vale Area Planning Board. CAVDAS was formed to deliver

innovative services based on the needs of the people in Cardiff and Vale. This

unique arrangement for Welsh services allows space for the voices of people using

services to be heard and for their needs to be met in the ways that work for them.

That way, we can continue to further develop services as required.

We exist to make sure every individual can get the support, information and advice

they need regarding their own or someone else’s drug and alcohol use. We support

every age group and people can get in touch with us directly or via a professional

referral. We call this our ‘No wrong door’ approach: however, and whenever people

get in touch about any drug and alcohol concerns, we’ll know how to help. We

believe the best services are produced together with the people who need them and

who have first-hand experience of what works well. This is how we develop our

services and why we have a strong, professional peer support team who are a very

important part of our approach.

The CAVDAS Peer Recovery Team

This role sits within the CAVDAS Peer Recovery Team which seeks to ensure peer

support is available to people accessing CAVDAS at all stages of change and

recovery. The team offers:
- 1:1 peer support
- Groupwork
- Peer support for people accessing treatment services, preparing to access or

at risk of dropping out
- Recovery and aftercare programmes, including a community rehab

programme
- Voices Action Change - coproduction and service user involvement
- Community connections
- Volunteering
- Co-delivery and a pathway to the wider Recovery Community via the

recovery centre

Purpose of the role:
The community connections programme aims to connect people with people, places

and activities in their communities to increase their recovery capital, thereby

supporting change and sustained recovery, whatever that means to them. The

programme aims to inspire, motivate and enthuse people to explore their skills and

interests, find new ones and build their confidence away from substance use.

This part time role forms an integral part of the peer recovery team within CAVDAS,

offering people individual and group support to broaden their connection with

recovery supportive activities and the recovery community to reduce boredom and

isolation, and ultimately to find new ways to have fun and find meaning The role

involves being aware of and building relationships with community assets as well as

the recovery community. In your role you will offer sessions and support to

graduates of the community rehab programme and a small group of people looking

for specific community connection support post-detox or as part of a planned exit

from treatment. You will work closely with but have distinct focus from your job

share.

You will embody and represent the recovery community ethos and model in how

you deliver your work. You will also operate at the interface between the recovery

community, CAVDAS treatment services and wider society. Coproduction is central

to CAVDAS, and you will have the opportunity to influence, with the people you

support, what we offer, how and where. You will support the work of Voices Action

Change to ensure service users across the system design, deliver and monitor the

work of CAVDAS.

- Ensure individuals are aware of ways in which they can access the recovery
