About Emerging Futures CIC
Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives.

We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected.

We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living.

Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change.

The Emerging Futures accredited coach training develops the skills of our volunteers, motivating people to give back and reconnect with their community.

Read these useful tips to help you prepare your application.

• Our job applications are submitted on an online form by clicking the "apply now" button. As with all online webpages, if you lose your internet connection the page can crash, and you risk losing your application.
• To avoid this happening, we'd advise writing the answers to our 'getting to know you' questions offline first, either on your computer or phone. Once you're happy and ready to submit, you can paste them into the online form. Alternatively, copy the form URL displayed at the bottom of the form by the "submit" button, and use this to revisit your application online later.
• It's always worth double checking that your email address and phone number are correct. If there are typos here, we won't be able to contact you about your application after we have shortlisted to interview.
• Write your 'getting to know you' responses in your own words. Imagine you're speaking to the person who you hope might hire you. The more we know about the real you, your values, and your experiences the better (so don't let ChatGPT answer for you).
• Read through your responses a few times before you send the final application and correct any spelling errors or add anything you may have missed. We're not looking for seasoned copywriters, but it shows you've taken care over your application.
• Not all our jobs require you to upload a CV, but if you are asked to, please make sure it's in a format that we can read. Accepted formats: pdf, doc, jpeg, jpg, png, txt, docx.
• Once you have submitted your application, wait until you see the "application successful" message. You'll also receive an email confirming the application has been received, which has a link to complete our Equality and Diversity short survey.
