​

Cumbria Addictions: Advice & Solutions (CADAS) have recently been honoured as the Pride of Cumbria Awards ‘Charity of the Year’ – a real testament to the passion and dedication of our team of around 70 staff and volunteers working across four bases in Cumbria.

​

We are proud to deliver our life-changing services to every corner of the region – including the most remote rural areas using digital technology. Our work empowers those living with addictive behaviours, helping them create healthier, happier lives and build a brighter, more resilient future.

​

• We deliver coaching and peer support groups for individuals affected by their own or someone else’s problematic addictions.

• We run educational interventions such as community awareness events (for example, Dry January).

• We provide training for health and social care professionals, teachers, and youth workers.

• We work with children in schools to support their wellbeing.

• We support employers and employees in the workplace to foster healthier, more productive environments.

 

CADAS are now looking for a Manager to cover the North and West of Cumbria (within the Cumberland Council area). In this role, you’ll support our local CADAS team to ensure top-quality service delivery and build strong, lasting relationships in your area. 

 

You’ll work closely with a senior manager covering the South/East (Westmorland & Furness Council area) so there is a ready-made support structure already in place.

​

If you have a background in charity management, a passion for the benefits CADAS delivers, and an enthusiasm for using new technologies to boost efficiency and impact, we’d love to hear from you. As a leader at CADAS, you will inspire colleagues and liaise professionally with funders and partner agencies.

​

Please note, this role requires an enhanced child and adult DBS check.
