Recovery Coach x 2 in Lincolnshire

Double Impact is a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation established in 1998. Our mission is to help people recover from drug and alcohol issues and build meaningful, fulfilled lives. We deliver services as part of the Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership—a collaboration between Double Impact (lived experience and recovery specialists), Framework (experts in multiple disadvantage), and Turning Point (national substance use provider). Together, we’re launching an innovative Recovery First model, putting lived experience and personalised support at the heart of everything we do.

About the role

As a Recovery Coach, you’ll be a key member of this dynamic partnership, working closely with people in treatment to help them take their next steps into recovery, education, volunteering, and independence. You’ll be based either in Boston or Lincoln/Gainsborough and surrounding areas, with some travel to other local sites.

Responsibilities

• Support people to achieve their goals and celebrate their successes
• Complete assessments and develop personalised recovery plans
• Deliver motivating, strengths-based 1:1 and group sessions (full training provided)
• Champion abstinent-based recovery and possibility thinking
• Connect people to community resources, peer support, and learning pathways
• Facilitate recovery-focused groups and mutual aid opportunities

Requirements

• Experience working within drug/alcohol treatment or recovery settings
• Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care (or working towards it)
• Strong IT and record-keeping skills
• Understanding of addiction, recovery, and abstinent-based approaches
• Personal knowledge or understanding of recovery and recovery communities (desirable)
• A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine passion for helping others

For the Boston vacancy, the ability to communicate in Eastern European languages would be advantageous to support local community needs.

Most importantly, you will share our belief that people can make positive and meaningful changes in their lives when provided with appropriate support and opportunities.
