We are looking to recruit a full-time BRIC Worker (Building Recovery in the Community) who will deliver support and initiatives in the local areas to establish visible recovery and increase opportunities for service users to achieve sustainable outcomes. You will play a key part in supporting individuals in the early stages of recovery, particularly those in their first three months of aftercare; and hold a small caseload.

It is essential that you have a full driving licence, have access to a vehicle for work purposes and business insurance.
If you would like to make a real difference in people’s lives and help shape a recovery‑focused community across Bradford, we’d love to hear from you.
