Join a Groundbreaking Outreach Team in Renfrewshire
At Change Grow Live, we're driven by the belief that we can truly impact the lives of our service users. We offer
a safe, supportive environment, honoring each individual and working collaboratively to identify the best
treatment and care options. Our core values - 'Be open, be compassionate, and be bold' - guide us daily
as we help people reshape their lives, grow as individuals, and embrace life to the fullest.
We’re proud to announce we will partner with Renfrewshire Health & Social Care Partnership in delivering a
dynamic, trauma-informed clinical outreach service aimed at reducing harm and supporting people into
recovery.
We’re building a responsive, community-based team dedicated to reaching individuals affected by drug and alcohol use
— particularly those in crisis or at risk of non-fatal overdose. Operating on a “boots on the ground” model, the
team will work across Renfrewshire’s communities, including via a fully equipped mobile harm reduction unit,
delivering care where it’s needed most.
We’re looking for skilled and compassionate Nurses who are ready to step outside traditional settings and make a real
impact. If you’re passionate about outreach, recovery, and accessible healthcare, this is a rare opportunity to
be part of something meaningful from the ground up.
