Full Job Description
[Catch22](https://www.catch-22.org.uk/) exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our ['3Ps'](https://www.catch-22.org.uk/about/our-vision/). We achieve this in two ways. Firstly, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda. Young People and Families Our [Young People and Families (YPF) hub](https://www.catch-22.org.uk/expertise/young-people-and-families/) provides early intervention, targeted and specialist support services to those in crisis, leaving care, missing from home or with substance misuse or mental health problems. Our services support people no matter what their situation – and have demonstrated a high success rate. This is a partnership role with Mindworks Surrey. The role of Substance Use Practitioner will compliment the existing probation team, managing an identified caseload of young adults, addressing substance misuse issues, and reducing the risk of re-offending. The team works in the heart of communities, to deliver treatment packages that are tailored to the needs of young people, and their families or carers. Main Duties and Accountabilities * Working alongside Surrey Probation Service, offering an initial triage service and assessment for referred young adults, aged between 18 – 25 years of age. * Offering accurate information on assessment and therapeutic interventions available through Catch22 SYPSUS, and contributing to assessment and care planning, related to targeted and specialist interventions for young adults with substance use issues. * Providing sustained support to a pre-defined caseload of young adults who are referred by means of effective assessment and care
