Youth Worker in Schools

Do you have what it takes to work with children and young people with challenging behaviour? Have you worked with children with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs? Can you engage with, motivate, and inspire young people?

The Job…

Working in schools across Staffordshire, Cheshire, Stoke on Trent, and Newcastle under Lyme, your role will be part teaching classroom assistant, and part pastoral youth support worker.

Your role will be a classroom youth worker- helping children who have been through trauma, those with mental health and emotional needs. Supporting the children in managing their behaviours, regulating their emotions, and engaging with the school day.

You'll be emotionally resilient, and able to handle whatever challenges the day throws at you. You'll be driven, determined, and passionate about ensuring the children and young people you work with, thrive in their future.

You'll Be…

* Experienced working with young people with SEMH, autism, ADHD, or other disabilities and needs
* Able to hold student attention and focus with excellent communication skills
* Promote happiness, self-reliance and encourage positive interactions

We're… Academics

* Academics are an established and respected education recruiter
* Generous rates of pay
* A dedicated SEN Consultant
* A large number of schools exclusive to Academics
* Honest and friendly service
* Access to our 'Refer a Friend' scheme

Our staff say…

* 'I had never registered with an agency before and Academics have been wonderful'
* 'From the initial contact to the point I started at work I was totally supported'
* 'I have worked for several teaching agencies in the past, but this is the first time that I have felt like 'more than just a number'
