Complex Needs Practitioner – Vaping Prevention

4 weeks ago


Northampton, United Kingdom Richmond Fellowship Full time

You have significant experience of individual client work in an addictions or social care setting, a good understanding of gambling, substance misuse and related health issues, plus a real desire to further develop. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Aquarius as a Complex Needs Practitioner – Vaping Prevention.

Our specialist youth support service for young people in Northamptonshire delivers early intervention and structured treatment to young people to build understanding and raise awareness of substance related harm. We recognise the correlation between vaping and young people developing harmful habits and are determined to do something about it. Right now, we’re looking for an energetic and proactive individual to take on this exciting new role that will involve creating a vaping prevention programme. It’s primarily a training/education role, but there’s also a practitioner related aspect to it, with the key stakeholders being schools/colleges/education providers. We’ll rely on you to deliver accredited training to education professionals, run interactive workshops with young people, deliver face-to-face and virtual awareness sessions with parents/carers and collaborate with colleagues to ensure the ongoing improvement and success of the programme.

To succeed, you’ll need a professional qualification in health/social/youth and community care, or experience of working in the addictions field, plus a commitment to complete NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care or equivalent. You’ll also need proven experience of liaising with voluntary and statutory agencies and working with health professionals, and a track record of engaging effectively with clients. A willingness to work with cognitive behavioural interventions and the Model of Change framework is essential to, as is familiarity with primary, secondary and outreach settings. Flexible in approach, you’re great at writing client records and reports and fulfilling data requirements, have good office IT skills and are as comfortable working independently as you are being part of a team.

This is a rolling recruitment process. Candidates will be interviewed as and when they are shortlisted. 

We are committed to increasing our diversity and we would welcome applications from those with lived experience and/or who are from a BAME background.
 
Aquarius is a subsidiary of Richmond Fellowship, with both organisations being part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence. From 1st June 2024 Richmond Fellowship will be merging with the mental health charity Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. At the same time, Aquarius will become a subsidiary of Humankind, with no impact to terms and conditions of employment. In October 2024, Humankind will then be renamed to reflect the new, bigger and better organisation, of which Aquarius will remain a subsidiary.
