Schools Support Worker

6 months ago

Ruislip, United Kingdom Centre for ADHD & Autism Support Full time

**PLEASE NOTE AN APPLICATION FORM AND COVER LETTER WILL BE REQUIRED, AND THE CANDIDATE MUST HAVE A RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UK**

We are thrilled that the borough of Hounslow is also keen to deliver our services into secondary schools in Hounslow, working with young people across the school to support them to better engage with their education, and to feel more confident in themselves, and have better understanding of their conditions.

You’ll be offering one2one support during the school day, providing training to teachers and young people, leading assemblies and facilitating lunchtime clubs. You’ll spend Mondays in our office in Eastcote, and the rest of the week working out of 4 different secondary schools in Hounslow, creating a community of good practice that allows young ADHD and Autistic people to thrive.

**Terms**: Salary of £33k, working 31 hours a week, all year round, with holidays to be taken during the school holidays. The role is being recruited on a fixed term contract that ends 31st March 2026, although we hope it will be converted to a permanent role in due course as we anticipate this being a valued and impactful service.

At CAAS we are committed to providing individualised support, information, and advice to young people who have a diagnosis of ADHD and/or autism, or who are on the diagnostic pathway. Our mission is to empower them to explore their diagnosis, provide psychoeducational and emotional support, and connect them to relevant groups and local resources, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.

**Location**:
CAAS offices / schools in Hillingdon

**Full Job Description can be found on our website, but key elements of the role are**:
**1. Job Summary**

We have recently developed a project working directly with secondary schools to provide them with youth support in the school setting. This work complements our existing youth support work, which mainly takes place in our offices, and incorporates one2one work with young people, delivery of youth social groups, provision of our specialist youth courses, support during our regular drop-in sessions and training and peer awareness opportunities.

In this role, the Youth and Schools Support Worker (YSSW) will spend Monday working at our centre, taking part in case management, supervision, training and team meetings. The other 4 days of the week will be spent in 4 different secondary schools in Hillingdon delivering our new school project, which particularly focusses on supporting young people to transition from primary to secondary school.

**2. Key Responsibilities - In-School Support**

The role will be expected to work in a different school each school-based day, and the times of work may vary, for example to support a pre-school teacher training or an after-school coffee drop in.

As a new project, the work performed will be developed over time, but initially we expect the support worker to:

- Offer one to one sessions to students in the school setting
- Offer one to one sessions with parent / carers in the school setting
- Offer a lunchtime club for students to work on specific topics, or facilitate social interactions
- Provide information and advice to groups of teachers on how best to support neurodivergent students
- Offer ad-hoc assemblies to the whole school to raise awareness and understanding of the conditions
- Offer ad-hoc coffee drop-in support sessions for parents
- Signpost to other avenues of support, both in and out of CAAS

The role is a full year role, as we anticipate the school holidays being a key time when young people need support as they prepare to start secondary school. However, as a schools based role, the post holder may only take holidays during the school holidays, to ensure support is available to the young people when they most need it.

**3. Key Responsibilities - Wider support**

The SSW will be expected to contribute to the education, support and empowerment of young ADHD and autistic people in a range of other ways, such as:

- Build networks within and across the schools being supported within the schools project, to share best practice and develop projects that best support the young people.
- Manage and facilitate regular and planned groups for young people and their families within the schools in the schools project
- Offer whole school and class assemblies to facilitate peer understanding of neurodiversity
- Provide training to school staff to develop understanding, raise awareness, provide reasonable adjustments and suggest a toolbox of strategies that might best support young people
- Keep abreast of national and local trends and developments affecting ADHD and autistic young people and identify opportunities to promote awareness of their needs and the development of appropriate services and support.
- Join our regular coffee drop-in support sessions to offer youth-tailored support and advice to attending parents and carers.

**4. Optional responsibilities - Facilitation of youth co
