These roles will design and deliver stigma‑free, trauma‑informed and rights‑based training for the alcohol and drug workforce as well as wider practioners who support people affected by alcohol and substance use.

You’ll deliver engaging face‑to‑face and online training, work alongside people with lived experience, and support the workforce to feel confident, informed and supported in practice.

If you’re passionate about harm reduction, human rights and making training feel human we’d love to hear from you.

As a Workforce Development Trainer within Regen:FX, you will be central to delivering a new, high-impact training service that goes beyond traditional training delivery. You will help shape a programme that is community-centred, trauma-informed, stigma-free and firmly grounded in human rights.

Training will support practitioners across statutory and third sector services to feel confident, skilled and supported when working with people affected by alcohol and drug use.

You will design and deliver training that feels human, accessible and relevant, whether delivered face-to-face in community settings, online via live sessions, or through e-learning modules. Lived and Living Experience (LLE) will be embedded throughout content development and delivery, ensuring authenticity and credibility.

You will also play a role in developing and maintaining e-learning content, ensuring digital learning remains engaging, accessible and aligned with the AAAQ Framework (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Quality).

Candidate Information

Joining Regen:FX Youth Trust means joining an organisation that values relationships over processes, compassion over judgement and learning over blame.

The Regen:FX Workforce Development Programme has been designed to feel different from traditional workforce training. It is grounded in community intelligence, lived experience and human rights.

You will be supported through: - A thorough induction into Regen:FX, GIVIT and SLADP priorities - Regular supervision and reflective practice - Ongoing CPD related to substance use trends, trauma-informed practice and facilitation - A culture that recognises the emotional impact of this work and prioritises staff wellbeing.

This role suits someone who is confident but humble, knowledgeable but curious, and who believes that how training is delivered matters just as much as what is delivered.

Driving Licence and access to a car is required.
