The role

Job title and organisation: Rough Sleeper Recovery Coordinator - The Bridge Project
Salary: SCP 15 - 20, £29,224 - £31,790, Starting at £29,224.
Hours: 37.5
Contract: Permanent
Location: New Vision Bradford, Bradford/ Airedale - all service site locations
Closing Date and Time: Friday 20th November 2026 at 9am

New Vision Bradford is a partnership between the Bridge Project, Create Strength Group, Project 6 and Waythrough. Under this umbrella, the partnership delivers an adult drug and alcohol service for the Bradford and Craven District, aiming to help people tackle the use of alcohol and drugs and reduce risk taking behaviours through dedicated prevention, intervention, and support.

The Bridge Project is excited to be recruiting a full-time Rough Sleeper Recovery Coordinator, joining the New Vision Bradford partnership to make a real impact in people's lives. It is essential that the successful applicant can travel across the district, getting to different locations so a full driving licence, access to a vehicle and business insurance for work purposes is an essential requirement.

The role will work as part of the multi-disciplinary team delivering high-quality drug and alcohol treatment by supporting service users from point of entry into the service and throughout their treatment and recovery journey. Outreach is a key component of the role to connect with individuals rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping with substance use concerns and other unmet needs, which may include mental or physical health, relationships, finances or criminal justice involvement.

You will play a crucial role acting as the main care coordinator for an assigned group of service users, coordinating tailor made packages of care and providing vital support, including comprehensive assessments, recovery planning, one to one key work, recognised psychosocial interventions and harm minimisation.
