Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) is looking for a proactive, self-motivated team player to be part of an exciting development in partnership with the Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership (ACHSCP). ACHSCP and SRC were successful in a funding bid through the Gambling Levy Fund, and we now have the opportunity to create a post that will specifically develop a Gambling Harm Recovery Network (GHRN) across Aberdeen City. Scottish Recovery Consortium will host this post (initially for 1 year) with the potential to extend for another three years. SRC will have an integral role in the project, providing ongoing development work and specialist expertise.

The project aims to create a learning, adaptive, person centred system of support for gambling harms in Aberdeen City. It operationalises national recommendations, leverages local assets, embeds trauma informed and lived experience driven approaches, and builds a more coherent, equitable, and responsive system of care. Through this work, ACHSCP and SRC will reduce unmet need and move closer to the national vision for a public health-led, person-centred response to gambling harms.

As an employee of the Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC), the post holder will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, who has overall responsibility for the SRC element of this project. The successful post holder will have a unique opportunity to work directly with the Community and Prisons-based teams within SRC and, externally, with a range of partners across Aberdeen City, including ACHSCP.

The role involves designing, developing and delivering a local GHRN across Aberdeen City. The postholder will work alongside people with lived and living experience, communities, statutory services and the third sector to strengthen recovery-oriented, trauma-informed and rights-based responses to gambling harms.

This is a role in the north of Scotland, requiring travel across Aberdeen City. There is also an expectation that you will attend SRC monthly staff team meetings in our Glasgow office and any others relevant to organisational work and development. Your role will be to:

• Asset map the current gambling support across Aberdeen City
• Identify gaps in provision
• Lead the development, design, delivery and coordination of a local GHRN.
• Build strong working relationships with partners to ensure the collaborative success of the project

The Scottish Recovery Consortium (SRC) is seeking a collaborative, proactive and values-driven individual to join our Experiential Team as a MIST National Officer (Experiential Team).

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the implementation and ongoing development of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards, helping to improve access to treatment and related services and reduce drug-related deaths and harms in Scotland.

Working closely with SRC colleagues and in partnership with Public Health Scotland’s Medication Assisted Treatment Standards Implementation Support Team (MIST), you will play an important role in supporting the development of the experiential agenda. You will help ensure that the voices and experiences of people accessing services, family members inform quality improvement and service development across Scotland.

The role involves building strong relationships with a wide range of partners, including Alcohol and Drug Partnerships, NHS services, Health and Social Care Partnerships, third sector organisations, grassroots recovery communities, and people with lived and living experience.

We are looking for someone with excellent relationship-building skills, a strong commitment to a human rights-based approach, and the ability to work collaboratively across national and local structures to support learning, engagement and continuous improvement.

Benefits include:

• 10% pension contribution
• Life assurance
• 28 days annual leave plus public holidays

If you are passionate about recovery, rights-based practice and making a meaningful difference in Scotland’s alcohol and drug sector, we would love to hear from you.
