**About Emerging Futures**

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.

You will work closely with colleagues and partner agencies to provide a range of interventions to support recovery and help people achieve independent living in the community. These will include psychological interventions to support residents to improve their wellbeing and participate in meaningful activities in the community as an alternative to substance and alcohol use.

You will be required to work flexibly from different sites and be willing to work evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
