Making the decision to enter treatment can be an intimidating experience for the people we support. You can make a difference.

As an Entry into Service/Assessment Volunteer with Change Grow Live you’ll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be. CGL Manchester Drug & Alcohol Services has an integrated approach to the delivery of substance and alcohol treatment services; we work with clients over the age of 18 and provide a wide range of services and interventions as a means of supporting them in the ongoing recovery journey.

• Support the team in completing triage assessments for people at the beginning of their recovery journey.
• Provide accurate information and undertake various duties that enhance or support service delivery.

• Help ensure people hear about any decisions or changes that are made because of their feedback.
• Collaborate with Change Grow Live staff and connect with the wider community.
• Adopt an assertive approach to ensuring the safety and well-being of all children, young people and adults, and demonstrate commitment to safeguarding practice.
