Edinburgh, United Kingdom Cyrenians Full time

About the role

Based within the Edinburgh Recovery Activities team (ERA), Cyrenians is looking for a proactive, passionate person with lived experience of recovery. We’re offering a 1-year fixed term contract, up to 16 hours per week (we are flexible to individual circumstances). The aim of the role is to give those with a lived experience of recovery a range of work-based skills through direct work with ERA’s existing program.

This diverse role will offer you an opportunity to gain work-based skills and participate in a bespoke training programme. By working alongside the ERA team, you will work with those in various stages of recovery, from those leaving treatment to those with years of recovery, getting a flavour of how we deliver our program and create connection within the community. Our person-centred approach means the post is tailored, enabling you to offer your own experiences of recovery, to help improve the programme design and delivery.

About you

As this is a varied post we don’t expect you to have experience in all the areas it covers

You will have experience of recovery and the support services that help those navigating addiction and recovery. You will be expected to use your own experience to assist others who might be new to the recovery community and could be feeling isolated. This might mean taking part in group activities, assisting in already running groups, activities and events and potentially designing and implementing your own group.

Your most important attributes will be your proactive attitude, and enthusiasm for learning and flexibility. You’ll also be a great communicator and will approach everyone you encounter with compassion and understanding.

How we’ll support you

You’ll be part of an experienced, knowledgeable team, with a supportive manager, who will help you develop and grow in your role. You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning programme, and staff wellbeing services.

About Cyrenians

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness by taking a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services. You can find out more about and online.

Application notes

Closing date: 12 noon on Monday 26th August
First interview date: Thursday 5th September.

Please note CVs will not be accepted.
