Location: Kent
Salary: A GBP 27,992 per annum plus benefits
Vacancy Type: Permanent, Full Time
We are recruiting for MPACT and Families Coordinator : East Kent.
This can be based at any of our East Kent Hubs.
We have a whole family approach to treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation, which is widely evidenced to improve outcomes for the people we work with. At the Forward Trust, we define family as a group of 2 or more individuals whose relationship plays a significant role in their lives. We recognise the value and complexity of family and understand the potential positive and negative impact of relationships. We believe how a family is defined is up to the individuals within that system, and that we all hold our own unique version of what family looks like.
Our family work aims to strengthen relationships and interpersonal connections, so every person feels safe, supported, and valued by the people they surround themselves with.
This post is responsible for the coordination and delivery of the Recovering Families Online UK programme.
