About the Role

The Youth Support Worker will be working closely with our Young People's Drug and Alcohol Specialists to provide targeted intervention, including drug and alcohol harm reduction, at the pivotal point where a young person is facing a permanent or fixed term exclusion due to reasons associated with substance use.

You will offer young people the best opportunity to engage and re-build relationships with schools and improve their wellbeing working towards a reduction in high-risk behaviours and mental health concerns.

This role is for a limited term contract until October and involves providing direct intervention packages on a one-to-one basis with children, young people and families, some of whom will have a range of problems and challenges.

Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for representing and supporting the needs of the young person you are working with, providing regular reports to share with schools and any education panels.
  • You will work across South Gloucestershire visiting schools and homes, ensuring that records and reports are maintained in accordance with service guidelines.
  • You will undertake assessments to determine the best intervention needed, delivering presentations/groups work to young people and groups of professionals.
  • You will be required to travel widely within the authority so you must either have a current driving licence and provide a car or have access to appropriate means of travel.

Requirements

  • You will hold an NVQ3 in Social Care/Youth Work/Teaching or equivalent relevant qualification or be working towards an appropriate qualification related to the provision of services to children and young people.
  • You will have relevant experience of working in a similar service area, with children, young people or families requiring additional support.
  • You will have good IT skills, able to deliver presentations and write reports, carry out risk assessments and demonstrate strong relationship building skills with hard to engage young people.
  • You must be able to demonstrate knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations and codes of practice relating to children and young people's services.

What We Offer

A competitive salary circa £25,000 per annum, plus benefits package including enhanced DBS check.
