Looking for a role where no two days are the same?

Do you believe every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their potential, regardless of the challenges they face?

At Warwickshire Evolve, we're looking for a passionate, motivated and resilient individual to join our team as a Young Person's Resilience Worker.

This is more than a job. It's an opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people aged 5-25 affected by substance use, whether that's their own or someone else's.

One day you could be supporting a young person in school, helping them navigate difficult choices. The next, you could be delivering a group session in the community, working alongside partner agencies, or helping a young person identify goals and build the confidence to achieve them.

If you thrive on building relationships, thinking creatively and helping young people overcome barriers, we'd love to hear from you.

Location: Rugby base but Warwickshire locality

Working Hours: Part Time of 30 hours per week
Contract Type: Permanent

* Full-time hours at Change Grow Live are 37.5 hours per week. For part-time roles, the salary and payments will be pro rata based on contracted hours.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work directly with young people aged 16+ who are experiencing difficulties related to drug and alcohol use, helping them make safer choices and achieve positive outcomes.

The role includes:

• Building trusted relationships with young people and families
• Completing assessments and creating tailored support plans
• Delivering one-to-one and group interventions
• Supporting young people in schools, communities and other outreach settings
• Identifying and managing risk and safeguarding concerns
• Working closely with partner agencies and professionals
• Delivering training and raising awareness around issues affecting young people

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about supporting young people
• Non-judgemental, approachable and compassionate
• A confident communicator who can engage young people from diverse backgrounds
• Resilient and able to manage challenging situations professionally
• Organised and able to manage a varied caseload
• A strong team player who enjoys working collaboratively

Experience of working with young people, safeguarding, adolescent development, substance use or related issues would be beneficial, but most importantly we're looking for someone who shares our values and commitment to making a difference.

Why Join Warwickshire Evolve?

Our team is passionate, supportive and committed to helping young people thrive.
