The role
Are you resilient and proactive? Are you passionate about helping people in the local community make lasting changes?
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Caseworker to join our Young Persons team on a permanent basis.
Who We Are
Working as part of Middlesbrough Council, our multi-disciplinary team provides vital support to those experiencing problems related to substance use. Our mission is to empower our service users by offering comprehensive care, tailored interventions, and a pathway to recovery.
Purpose of the Role
As a Young Person Caseworker, you will support young people affected by substance use and related challenges, helping them to reduce harm, build resilience, and achieve positive outcomes. Using a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, you will manage a caseload, complete assessments and recovery plans, deliver evidence-based interventions, and work closely with partner agencies to ensure young people receive the right support at the right time. This rewarding role requires flexibility, compassion, and a commitment to empowering young people to reach their full potential.
