Counsellor Required: Birmingham, West Midlands

Emerging Futures

Contract: Full-time

Emerging Futures works nationally with people affected by addiction, encouraging them to make positive changes to their lives.

We believe that no one should suffer the stigma associated with addiction, and that everyone seeking support should feel valued and respected.

We provide homes for people to connect with others and make the necessary changes to move towards independent, healthy living.

Our behaviour change services provide a confidential space to share experiences, and offer practical support to those who want to change.

The Emerging Futures accredited coach training develops the skills of our volunteers, motivating people to give back and reconnect with their community.

You'll provide essential support and guidance to clients navigating the challenges of addiction and early recovery. Your contributions will be vital in helping individuals and families cope with their experiences, fostering resilience and well-being.

Your role will include providing one-to-one counselling sessions to clients within our service as well as referring to outside agencies.

You will engage in designing and delivering research projects, including data collection, analysis and reporting. You'll also have experience of translating research findings into practical recommendations to improve services and develop policies.

You'll also engage with a range of stakeholders and partner agencies to provide a range of interventions to support recovery.
