We are excited to announce an opportunity for a highly motivated and compassionate individual with experience in the wellness, addiction recovery and/or mental health sector to join our small but passionate team as a Community Coordinator. Full-Time (30-37.5hrs available) Salary Scale £24,784 - £28,734pa Home-based office equipment supplied Annual Leave 27 days per year plus Christmas eve rising by 1 day per year up to 31 days max. Company Pension with Now Pensions EAP with Health Assured. Permanent contract offered pending successful probation period. By supporting our amazing volunteer facilitators and our highly valued partnership organisations, you'll help drive growth of SMART Recovery programmes and meetings across 2 distinct geographical areas making our 4-Point Programmes even more accessible to those wanting to manage any type of addictive behaviour. North East: The counties of Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham. Yorkshire & The Humbers: The counties of North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire. To thrive in this role, you'll need hands-on experience of facilitating groups or meetings and an understanding of what great facilitation looks like. Whilst already being a qualified SMART Recovery Facilitator and/or having engaged with our meetings as a previous participant is a distinct advantage, we also accept applications from individuals with a general awareness of addiction recovery or our 4-Point Programme. Importantly, you'll be someone who brings people together, listens deeply, and creates a safe, empowering space for growth and recovery. Your presentation skills should engage, inspire, and inform with clarity and warmth, whether you're speaking with a room full of volunteers, delivering training via Zoom, or presenting to our partnership organisations. You'll be required to help grow our footprint, increase and diversify our partnerships and encourage the uptake of our programme. You will represent UKSR at community events, recovery walks and conferences and get involved in defined projects. We welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of addiction, whether that's your own recovery journey or being close to someone else's. It's essential for you to bring empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for others' experiences to all of your interactions. You'll need to be self-motivated and highly organised, and able to manage your time, workload, and travel with autonomy. You'll be someone who uplifts, encourages, and empowers, helping others see what's possible. You should have experience in working with volunteers, understanding how to support and develop their skills. Previous delivery of training is essential, and if that experience has been gained in a peer-support or recovery setting, all the better. This role requires emotional intelligence; you'll be working with people who have faced adversity, and your ability to support them within clear, professional boundaries is critical. Giving and receiving feedback, gathering data and other evidence to inform service development, and exercising reflective practice are all essential attributes. You'll also contribute to key projects that move SMART Recovery forward, adding your voice and insight to help shape what comes next. The role therefore requires project mangement skills as you will work on specific projects that develop our publications, training, communications and marketing. If you have a special interest and expertise in certain areas of our business such as social media and campaigns, training, volunteer management or copywriting we can develop this skill and interest as an enhancement to your role. Developing areas of expertise within our Co-ordinator team is something we are keen to do. As this is a home-based role, you'll need to be comfortable forming meaningful relationships online, building trust and connection via email, phone, and video calls. We'll provide the equipment you need, but you'll bring the energy and adaptability to make remote working feel personal and productive. Regular travel across the defined regions is a vital part of the role, visiting SMART Recovery meetings in the community and within partner organisations, and offering continual support to facilitators, are all essential in helping our network continue to grow with the quality we strive for. It is essential that you live in the North East area.
