Health and Wellbeing Outreach and Engagement Practitioner

Are you passionate about making a real difference in young people’s lives?

If you are then we are looking for a Health & Wellbeing Outreach and Engagement Practitioner that will play a vital role in supporting children, young people, and young adults up to 24 across Harrow. You’ll be at the heart of the community, delivering substance misuse education, engaging young people in schools, youth clubs, and community spaces, and ensuring they get the support they need.

You’ll be the friendly face of Compass Elevations, reaching out to young people who may be vulnerable or facing barriers to support. Whether leading awareness sessions, re-engaging those at risk, or providing guidance and encouragement, you’ll help young people make positive choices.

Beyond face-to-face engagement, you’ll support digital outreach, ensuring our online resources are engaging and accessible. While you won’t carry a caseload, your work will be key in guiding young people toward further support from our Young People’s Substance Misuse Practitioners.

This is an active, community-focused role, where every conversation and outreach session contributes to a safer, healthier future for young people in Harrow. If you’re passionate about helping young people thrive, we’d love to hear from you.

You’re someone who is passionate about engaging young people and helping them make positive choices. You thrive in community settings, love building connections, and can communicate with young people from diverse backgrounds. You’re proactive, adaptable, and ready to be a visible and approachable presence in schools, youth clubs, and public spaces.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• Experience working with young people in a community, education, or health setting.

• The ability to engage and motivate young people, especially those facing challenges.

• Strong communication skills, both in-person and online, to deliver health promotion messages effectively.

• Knowledge of safeguarding and an understanding of the barriers young people may face when accessing support.

• Confidence in using social media and digital tools to reach young people and promote services.

• A flexible and proactive approach, with the ability to work independently across multiple locations.

Having experience delivering health education sessions, understanding child protection principles, or working with substance misuse services will help you thrive in this role—but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box.

If you’re driven, people-focused, and eager to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
