Leatherhead, United Kingdom Catch22 Full time

Company Description

Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

**Young People and Families**

Our Young People and Families hub works with those in trouble, providing early intervention, targeted and specialist support services to those in crisis, leaving care, missing from home, or with substance misuse or mental health problems. Services support people no matter what their situation - and have demonstrated a high success rate.

**Job Description**:

This role will provide appropriate specialist or targeted substance misuse support, and interventions, to a caseload of young people, who are referred by means of effective assessment, care planning, and risk management.
- **Access to a car, and a full driving licence, is a requirement of this role.**

**Main Duties and Accountabilities**
- Developing, monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on care plans, YPORS risk assessments, and outcomes, throughout the young person’s treatment journey, providing appropriate care and support of individuals accessing the service.
- Providing family interventions, and supporting parents and carers of service users, and those wishing to access our services.
- Promoting and supporting service user involvement, through facilitation of service user groups and activities, and supporting volunteer participation within the service.
- Working in partnership with other agencies, and promoting effective dialogue, referral, and care pathways between agencies, families, and schools.
- Working in partnership with criminal justice services to support young people, addressing their substance misuse problems, and reducing the risk of re-offending.
- Providing harm minimisation and drugs education activities, and supporting individuals and groups in schools and other services.
