Role Overview:

As a Youth Worker, you will play a vital role in supporting the personal, social, and emotional development of students within the school.

  • Intervention Programs: Work with the school’s pastoral team to design and implement intervention programs tailored to the needs of individual students. These programs will focus on improving attendance, behaviour, and overall engagement with school life.

  • Parental and Community Liaison: Act as a bridge between the school, parents, and the wider community. You will work to involve parents in their child’s education and connect students with external support services when necessary.

  • Extracurricular Activities: Lead and participate in extracurricular activities that promote social inclusion and personal development. These activities could include sports, arts, or community service projects.

  • Monitoring and Reporting: Keep detailed records of student progress and the impact of interventions. Regularly report to senior staff and contribute to the school’s ongoing efforts to improve student well-being and achievement.

  • Safeguarding: Ensure the safety and well-being of all students by adhering to the school’s safeguarding policies. You will be responsible for identifying and reporting any concerns in line with school procedures.

Requirements:

  • Experience working with young people, particularly those facing social, emotional, or behavioural challenges.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to connect with students from diverse backgrounds.
  • Empathy, patience, and resilience, with a genuine commitment to making a positive difference in young people’s lives.
  • An understanding of the challenges faced by young people today, including mental health issues, family difficulties, and peer pressure.
  • A proactive and flexible approach, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Previous experience in a school setting or youth work environment is desirable but not essential.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Benefits:

  • Weekly pay of £419.25 - £500.
