Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA) is recruiting for our Steps to Recovery Project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

The Steps to Recovery Project offers a programme of groups and events each week to provide members of the DACA recovery community with diversion, routine, stimulation, social connection and fun.

How would you like to spend your Mondays fishing on the beach, your Wednesdays hosting a slap-up social dining event and your Fridays getting your hands dirty in the garden? DACA offers these activities and much more through our Steps to Recovery project, and now we’re looking for the right person to lead up this workstream for the next five years. Unlike with our fishing group, there’s no catch. It’s a great job and you’ll be supporting a great bunch of people who are working on healing the harms that alcohol has brought to their lives.

So, if you’re a compassionate, motivated, hands-on group leader, then why not drop us a line.

The candidate should have previous experience of managing, monitoring and evaluating a project, and strong communication skills. An appropriate qualification in addictions or the health and social care sector is preferred. This post is funded for 5 years.

We are looking for applicants who are dynamic and flexible team workers, and who have experience of working with people with complex needs, preferably in a community-based alcohol service setting. Compassion, empathy and a non-judgemental attitude are essential.
