Youth Support Navigator (SHAP) - Bridge Gaps (18-25)

What will the role look like?

The SHAP programme will support young people aged 18-25 to bridge the gaps in provision for young people who typically 'fall through the net' due to the complexity of their needs. Young people are often excluded from existing provision and struggle to navigate pathways in order to address their wider support needs. Through SHAP, BARCA Navigators will strive to have enhanced engagement with young people, taking a no wrong door approach and continuing support despite periods of crisis and disengagement. The SHAP offer will strive to improve the mental health of young people in Leeds, support them to address their substance use and prevent rough sleeping, reduce offending and anti-social behaviour as well as addressing long-term housing needs.

What we are looking for?
