This is a role for a **Youth Worker** on a full time basis at a Secondary Alternative Provision School in the central Manchester area catering for young people with Social, Emotional or Mental Health needs (SEMH).

Hours will be Monday to Friday 8:30am to 3:30pm (3pm finish on Fridays).

Pay could be up to £85/day depending on experience.

To join us and be successful in this Youth Worker** **role, you will need to:

- Overseas Police Clearances (if applicable).
- 2 professional references.
- Provide a CV with a full history from your education until present.
- Have the legal right to work in the UK.

The role is working as a Youth Worker at a secondary alternative provision school in the Manchester area. You will be supporting young people in small groups or on a 1:1 basis. Your role will be primarily to provide pastoral & behaviour support including managing behaviour in the classroom, corridors and outdoor areas. You will also be required to deliver 1:1 pastoral support which will mean closely aiding young people who have Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH) obstacles to learning and providing a listening ear while acting as a trusted and positive role model. You may also need to deal with crisis situations, disclosures, altercations etc.

Young people have a range of needs including SEMH and associated difficulties such as ADHD, ODD, autism, attachment disorder and other challenging behaviours.
