Notts Recovery Collective - Community & Partnerships Builder

INSPIRING CHANGE AND POSITIVE CHOICE

Double Impact is a registered charity and not for profit organisation, established in 1998.

Our Mission is to provide a quality service, which promotes recovery and community integration for people who have experienced problematic drug and alcohol use, or gambling. This is achieved by providing opportunities for personal development, recovery orientation, healthy choices, education, vocational training, and pathways to volunteering and employment.

By placing our service users’ needs at the heart of our ethos and their own recovery journey, we provide a uniquely holistic, flexible service. We believe that with the right support everybody can recover and that in recovery anything is possible.

We have an exciting opportunity, we are looking for a:

The Notts Recovery Collective is a new, unique 5‑yr Lottery‑funded project: it will develop a Member‑led community of people in recovery, to shape a bold, inclusive, and sustainable future for recovery support in Nottinghamshire.

Over the next five years, the Collective will engage people in recovery, train and support volunteers, and foster skills‑based and employment opportunities for people with lived experience. It will grow a peer support group network across the county while embedding lived experience leadership at its core, through a Members’ Committee and Steering Group.

We are looking for candidates who can guide The Notts Recovery Collective to be a proactive, inspiring model of what happens when people in recovery are trusted to lead.

• To take an outward‑facing, highly visible role to establish and promote the Collective within Nottinghamshire networks, ensuring the Collective has a distinct identity in all relevant local partnerships and benefits from mutually supportive partnerships.
• To lead on the growth of a peer support network across the County including scoping out and brokering suitable community venues.
• To support and accelerate the growth of a peer support network across the county.
• To establish and facilitate a culture of Collective co‑production, cooperation and self‑directed activity, in keeping with co‑production and Action Learning principles/practices.
