We provide compassionate, trauma-informed support to individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and substance use. Every day, our teams work alongside people facing some of life's most difficult challenges, helping them build stability, improve wellbeing and create positive change.

As we continue to expand our services across Scotland, we are looking for passionate, motivated and people-focused individuals to join our team.

This is more than a job. It is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in people's lives.
