Project Worker 1 Youth Worker

Barnardo's Lanarkshire Locality has a number of services which provides both generic and bespoke support to some of our most vulnerable children, young people, and families.

In partnership with Scottish Families affected by Drugs and Alcohol (Scottish Families), we will be delivering a new service across North Lanarkshire. Grow Your Own Routes' is funded by the cross-government Whole Family Wellbeing Fund, led by Scottish Families with the support of the Scottish Government's Drugs Policy Division. As part of its growth the service is being rolled out across several local authorities in Scotland. As a delivery partner for Scottish Families, Barnardo's will provide this service, within North Lanarkshire.

The service known as North Lanarkshire Routes, will provide bespoke support to children and young people aged 12 - 26 years who have been impacted by someone else's drugs and or alcohol use. The service will operate from our Motherwell office but will support children and young people across the locality.

The delivery approach focuses on providing a range of tailored interventions through practical support, youth work and evidence-based approaches including but not exclusive to Solihull, Lets introduce Anxiety Management (LIAM) and Mental/emotional health interventions.

We are advertising for a 37-hour Project worker 1 to join our team. If successful, your role will be to provide support through 1:1 and group activities to children and young people affected by drugs and alcohol.

The role will involve evening and weekend work. This post covers a large geographical area and therefore a full driving licence with access to a car for the purposes of work is required.
