Hello Recovery Festival supporters!

We're looking for three new volunteer Directors to help shape the future of Recovery Festival.

Recovery Festival is built on a simple belief: that recovery should be visible, valued and celebrated as part of a thriving community.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for people who can help steward the Festival and support our long-term development. We're currently recruiting for:

🔹 Director & Treasurer
🔹 Director & Governance Lead
🔹 Director & Lead for Safety, Accessibility & Risk Assurance

We're particularly keen to hear from people with lived experience of recovery, people connected to recovery communities, and people whose perspectives are often under-represented in leadership spaces.

You don't need to have been a Director before. We value insight, relationships, lived experience, community leadership and potential alongside formal skills and qualifications.

If you're curious about the opportunity and would like to learn more, there is an opportunity to have an informal conversation before applying.

Please take a look at the recruitment pack and share this opportunity with your networks.

Applications close: Sunday 4 October, 11.45pm
