Birmingham, United Kingdom Waythrough Full time

**£25,089 - £27,069 per annum**

**Birmingham**

You have an understanding of substance misuse and associated health and social issues and experience of working with young people in an addictions or social care setting. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Aquarius as an **Outreach Practitioner.**

Aquarius is part of Waythrough, 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. We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone.

Right now, we're looking for a self-motivated individual to join us at our Adult and Young Peoples Drug & Alcohol service in Birmingham.

Your challenge? To provide advice, brief interventions, group programmes and training courses to both young people and professionals. Practitioners work not only from Aquarius offices but also in schools, universities, arrest referral, hospital and youth settings, and other outreach settings.

As this role requires travel to a variety of settings within the community, a driving licence and access to a car is desirable.

**This is a permanent full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37 hours per week.**

***

**When applying, please upload a CV and supporting statement which should clearly outline your skills and experience.**

Aquarius was 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. On 1st June 2024 Richmond Fellowship merged with 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 became a subsidiary of Humankind, with no impact to terms and conditions of employment. In October 2024, Humankind will be renamed to reflect the new organisation, of which Aquarius will remain a subsidiary.
