* Help clients engage with adult services and attend medical appointments.
* Support young adults in accessing education, training, employment, or meaningful activities.
* Use creative and digital methods to build positive relationships and maintain engagement.

What You'll Gain:
* Valuable experience working with young adults within substance misuse services.
