Role
Overview
If you want to help other people change their lives, we'd love to have you on the team. It’s a great opportunity for you to support and inspire other people while gaining new skills and experience. We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life, and we’re grateful to everyone who makes up our charity.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Edinburgh Recovery Services. Having recently been awarded further funding to support taking forward the Scottish Government MAT Standards, we now have Recovery coordinator vacancies in our Edinburgh Drug & Alcohol services.
We are looking for motivated and caring candidates, with knowledge and experience of supporting individuals affected by drug or alcohol use. We currently have peripatetic vacancies in three Recovery Hubs and a new central clinic, based across South East, South West and North West Edinburgh. We work in partnership with our colleagues in Health and Social Care providing harm reduction and psychosocial interventions to enable individuals to move towards recovery.
Responsibilities
With this role you’ll be working as part of Edinburgh Services.
At Change Grow Live, equality, diversity and inclusion means building a workforce that's representative of the communities we serve.
We know the importance of a good work-life balance and managing work alongside other commitments, needs and interests. We are committed to offering part-time and flexible working arrangements wherever possible.
When you join us, you will become part of a charity that is working to become a sector leader for equality, diversity and inclusion practice. You will make a genuine contribution to the quality of the services we provide.
As a member of staff at Change Grow Live you'll start with 25 days annual leave. This will increase by 1 day each year to a maximum of 30 days. You can also take an hour out of work each week to do something that improves your wellbeing or personal development. We are a Living Wage Employer. That means we pay at least the real Living Wage to all of our staff.
This is what one of our Recovery Co-ordinators had to say “I like the team spirit, that we all bring something different and we always put the people who use our service first”.
Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you we’d love to hear.

As a support worker with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.
With this role you’ll be working as part of the EMORSS team based within the community and prison.
Responsibilities
The team supports offenders with their drug and/or alcohol issues.
No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.
You’ll have to record information about what you do, so enjoying a bit of paperwork and attention to detail is important. But most of the time you’ll be enjoying working with people from all backgrounds, making a difference to their lives.
This is what one of our people who use our service had to say:
“Life saving, life changing, [worker] took me from a place of crushing despair and mistrust of the system to a place of hope with the space to heal and rebuild. Thank you!”
"I’ve left custody/been in the community before with no help – is night and day. CGL have been amazing for me and my support. I would be back in jail without them. Gate pick-up was a game changer."
Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
