Recovery Navigator

Want a role where your work genuinely changes lives?

We’re looking for a Recovery Navigator to support people on probation as they navigate recovery, rebuild stability, and reduce re-offending.

This role is remote-based, with regular travel across London boroughs to meet service users at hubs and probation-mandated locations. You’ll work as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team delivering high-impact support across London’s probation clusters.

This is a varied, people-focused role where no two days look the same.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a diverse caseload of adult male prison leavers and people on community orders
• Completing comprehensive assessments and co-creating SMART, recovery-focused action plans
• Delivering 1:1 support, group work and virtual sessions
• Building trust, motivation and continuity of contact throughout the recovery journey
• Signposting and liaising with probation staff and partner agencies to ensure sustained engagement with treatment
• Maintaining accurate, timely records using Refer and Monitor systems
• Supporting people with complex needs, including co-occurring mental health challenges
• Some RNs will act as subject matter experts (e.g. BAME communities, chemsex), supporting colleagues across the service

What we’re looking for

• Experience supporting people with substance use, mental health or complex needs
• Confidence working independently while collaborating across multi-disciplinary teams
• Strong assessment, planning and engagement skills
• Flexibility to work London-wide (not limited to one cluster)
• Comfortable working remotely, with occasional travel for training

You’ll be part of a values-driven organisation where your work has real impact, supporting people to rebuild their lives and reduce re-offending. We offer flexible working, a supportive multi-disciplinary team, and opportunities to develop specialist expertise while working across a varied and meaningful caseload.

This is a role where your skills are valued, your voice is heard, and the work you do genuinely makes a difference every day.

All probation-based roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and HMPPS security vetting. These checks can take up to 6-12 weeks to complete. Any offer of employment will be conditional upon the successful completion of both checks.

Please note if you have lived overseas within the last 5 years then checks may take longer.
