Role

The Youth Navigator will support young people who have been affected by a loved one’s problematic alcohol or substance use or their own use.  

Regenfx Youth Trust is a well-established charitable youth organisation, proud to have created Scotland’s first-ever visible Youth Recovery Service - The GIVIT. We use a blend of youth work, harm reduction, rapid access to Counselling and a robust recovery model.

We’re looking for a committed Youth Worker to join our ‘GIVIT some STREET’ Early Intervention Team. You will work with young people aged 11–20 yrs who are taking risks around alcohol and substance use or are affected by a loved one’s problematic substance use. 

What we will Provide:

• Full Training and a Supportive Team
• Continuous Personal Development

What You’ll Do:  

• Provide meaningful 1:1 support and facilitate group sessions for young people engaging with our service.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships grounded in respect, care, and understanding.
• Work closely with a supportive and experienced team, with opportunities to learn and develop through comprehensive training and shadowing.

Who We’re Looking For:

• A motivated individual with experience in Youth Work and or the Recovery Field.
• Someone capable of managing a small caseload and fostering genuine connections with young people.
• Someone with flexibility to contribute to our 7-day-a-week service.

We need a youth worker who can contribute to providing groupwork sessions and successfully engage young people in the service. A knowledge of alcohol and substance harm reduction is desirable. However, we value genuine interest in youth work and a drive to make a difference.

Not Sure If You Fit the Criteria?  

We understand that you may not tick every box, but if this role excites you, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out for a conversation to learn more about the role and our team.

Be part of something impactful - help us support young people before alcohol and substances become a problem for them or help create spaces that provide breathing space for those that are affected by someone else’s substance use.
