The people we support and our frontline staff at are the heart of everything we do. Our services are structured to deliver the best support and pioneer recovery.
Service Managers and Team Leaders oversee the day to day running of our services, whilst Recovery Workers and Employment Advisors provide frontline support for those accessing our services. They’re supported by other roles such as Community Link Workers, Peer Support Coordinators and Administrators to help deliver our services.
Our Area Managers have the responsibility for overseeing contracts, exploring new business opportunities, and connecting our services with local partners. Area Managers are supported by Deputy Directors of Operations to ensure our services are well maintained and frontline staff are given the necessary resources and training to aid their career and personal development.
Our central services teams have a wealth of experience in supporting our frontline services.
They are responsible for overseeing policies, HR, Finance, Property Maintenance, IT, Business Development and our corporate Communications and Marketing.
