Make a Difference in Young Lives as an Early Interventions Youth Navigator

Regenfx Youth Trust is a well-established charitable youth organisation, proud to have created Scotland’s first-ever visible Youth Recovery Service - The GIVIT. Our innovative approach supports young people aged 11–25 who are impacted by problematic alcohol and substance use, blending youth work with harm reduction, rapid access to CBT Counselling and a robust recovery model.

We’re looking for a committed Early Interventions Youth Navigator to work within our GIVIT some STREET Project. You will work with young people aged 11–20 yrs who are taking risks around alcohol and substance use or are affected by a loved one’s problematic substance use.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide meaningful 1:1 support and facilitate group sessions for young people engaging with our service.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships grounded in respect, care, and understanding.
• Work closely with a supportive and experienced team, with opportunities to learn and develop through comprehensive training and shadowing.

Who We’re Looking For:

• A motivated individual with experience in Youth Work and or the Recovery Field.
• Someone capable of managing a small, impactful caseload and fostering genuine connections with young people.
• You should be flexible and ready to contribute to a 7-day-a-week service, including some evening and occasional weekend work.

Experience delivering youth work activities, successfully engaging young people, and knowledge of alcohol and substance use recovery is desirable. However, we value genuine interest in youth work and a drive to make a difference.

Driving Licence and access to a car is required.

Not Sure If You Fit the Criteria?

We understand that you may not tick every box, but if this role excites you, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out for a conversation to learn more about the role and our team.

Be part of something impactful - help us support young people before alcohol and substances become a problem for them or help create spaces that provide respite for those that are affected by someone else’s substance use.
