Recovery Practitioner Sites - Streatham Clapham Recovery Team

Help men rebuild their lives beyond drug and alcohol addiction. Watch genuine transformation happen over months and years.

On-site in Streatham, Croydon & Clapham | £33,500 | Permanent | 35 hours per week

As a Recovery Practitioner, you'll work alongside men as they rebuild their confidence, strengthen relationships, develop practical life skills and prepare for independent living after addiction.

Because residents often stay with us for many months - and sometimes up to two years - you'll have the opportunity to build genuine relationships and see the long-term impact of your work.
