Adferiad Overview

Adferiad Recovery delivers a flexible and coordinated response to the exceptional circumstances faced

by people with co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions and related issues. Vulnerable

people facing complex life challenges need consistent and seamless support to ensure they remain

engaged with vital health and wellbeing services - and to prevent them becoming disenfranchised and

isolated.

Adferiad Recovery harnesses the talents and experience of long-established and leading Welsh

charities CAIS, Hafal and WCADA. Our combined expertise in the fields of substance use, mental

health, housing, criminal justice, and employment support enables Adferiad Recovery to meet the

needs of our most vulnerable with a single, unified, and comprehensive approach.

Job Purpose:
This post will work as part of Adferiad Recovery’s Young People’s Substance Misuse Service in Powys,

providing services to young people who are under 18 years of age (and those aged 16-24 transitioning

to adult services), who are experiencing problems with drug and/or alcohol use. You will provide

targeted and specialist interventions to support young people at increased risk of using substances and

for those identified with a substance misuse problem, with the objective of preventing family breakdown

and helping to address and overcome barriers in accessing education, employment, and training.

The team aspire to create equality of access and availability of services for those with severe substance

misuse and those with more recreational use; for those for whom abstinence is the goal, as well as

those for whom harm reduction approaches are more suitable. The young people’s provision operates

separately from the adult’s service which are delivered by our partners at Kaleidoscope, allowing for a

specialist provision, for the purposes of safeguarding and in offering specialist services.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

- To work with young people with complex needs, of which substance misuse is assessed as a

primary contributing factor.
- To participate in the development, evaluation, and amendment of practice and protocols.
- To refer and signpost individual young people toward other appropriate agencies.
- To deliver interventions at various locations in the community which may include the individual’s

home.
- To provide initial and ongoing assessment with young people.
- To provide a wide range of information on substances and their affects to individual users, to

include relapse prevention, health, and sexual awareness.
- To have thorough knowledge of Child Protection.
- To work with the family as a whole.
- To support young people using motivational enhancement techniques.
- To offer targeted and crisis work through therapeutic interventions and support to young

people, promoting health and social care improvements and sustainment of alcohol/drug free

status where relevant - whilst responding effectively to risk issues.
- To deliver non-medical/ abstinence-based interventions to service users not in clinical

treatme
