Role
Regenfx Youth Trust have established the first ever visible Youth Recovery Service in South Lanarkshire. We work with 13 – 25yr olds who are affected by problematic alcohol & substance use. The service is known as The GIVIT.
We use a blend of Youth Work, rapid access to CBT Counsellors backed up with a fully supported Recovery Model to help young people consider their own personal recovery needs.
Due to the exceptional high demand for the service and The GIVIT exceeding their targets in the first year by 92%, we are expanding our skilled staff team to include an Early Interventions Navigator specifically for young people 12 – 16yrs who are at the beginning of escalating their alcohol and substance use.
The Early Interventions Navigator will provide 1 to 1 support and groupwork for the young people participating in the service. You will be given full training and excellent support from your colleagues including the opportunity to shadow in the first instance. You must be able to build solid relationships with young people based on trust, mutual respect, care and compassion. You will need to be a natural motivator who can work with a small caseload effectively.
This is a 7-day a week service that includes some evening & weekends. All work is done in person we have no working from home arrangements.
We are particularly interested in people with experience in Youth Work and or the Recovery Field, but most importantly, people who are driven, genuinely interested in young people and who would welcome a challenge like no other supported by a very skilled staff team.
Experience of working with young people, providing diversionary activities, and successfully engaging them in services is desirable. A good knowledge of problematic alcohol and drug use and or experience in the Recovery Field is desirable.
It is important to us that we find the right people for the new posts. We know we might not find someone with everything we are looking for, but if you think it could be you and are hesitant on whether to apply or not please give us a call to discuss the post further.
Regen:fx Youth Trust is a registered charity established in 2007. We develop & deliver Youth Diversion Programmes and Specialised Projects throughout South Lanarkshire for 8 – 25yr olds. Checkout our website regenfxyouthtrust.org
