Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Cyrenians Full time

About the Role

Cyrenians' Edinburgh Recovery Activities team (ERA) is seeking a dedicated individual with lived experience of recovery to join our mission. This 1-year fixed-term contract, offering up to 16 hours per week (flexible to individual circumstances), provides an invaluable opportunity to gain practical work skills through direct involvement in ERA's existing program.

This diverse role offers a chance to develop valuable work-based skills and participate in a tailored training program. By collaborating with the ERA team, you will engage with individuals at various stages of recovery, from those transitioning from treatment to those with years of experience. You'll gain insights into our program delivery and community connection efforts.

Our person-centered approach allows you to leverage your own recovery experiences to enhance program design and implementation, directly impacting the lives of others navigating similar journeys.

About You

While prior experience in all areas is not required, we seek someone with a genuine understanding of recovery and the support services available to those facing addiction and its challenges. Your lived experience will be invaluable in assisting newcomers to the recovery community who may feel isolated.

Your responsibilities may include participating in group activities, supporting existing groups, events, and potentially designing and leading your own initiatives.

Above all, we value a proactive attitude, enthusiasm for learning, flexibility, strong communication skills, and a compassionate approach to every interaction.

Our Support

You'll be part of an experienced and knowledgeable team, guided by a supportive manager dedicated to your growth and development. Cyrenians offers comprehensive support, including access to our learning programs and staff well-being services.

About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians, we combat homelessness by addressing its root causes through a values-driven and relationship-centered approach to service delivery.
