Summary
Do you want to support young people to understand substance use and make safer, healthier choices? As an Health & Wellbeing Outreach & Engagement Practitioner, youll play a vital role in early intervention, working with children, young people, and young adults across Harrow. This role is focused on prevention and education around substance misuse especially early intervention, helping young people understand risks, build awareness, and access the right support. Youll be out in the community delivering sessions in schools, youth clubs, and local spaces, engaging those who may be vulnerable or harder to reach. Youll be the friendly, consistent presence of the service, building trust and opening conversations that shape positive decisions. Whether delivering awareness sessions, re-engaging young people at risk, or offering guidance, your focus will be on early support rather than treatment. Beyond face to face engagement, youll support digital outreach, helping create accessible content that reaches young people where they are. This role does not involve holding a caseload or delivering structured interventions. Instead, youll identify need and connect young people into further support from our Young Peoples Substance Misuse Practitioners when needed.
