If you have experience working with young people in youth clubs, community projects, outreach services, mentoring programmes, residential settings, or other youth work environments, you may already have the skills we're looking for.

  • Acting as a positive role model and mentor
  • De-escalating conflict and promoting positive outcomes
  • Encouraging engagement and participation
  • Working collaboratively with families and professionals

As a Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Support students both inside and outside the classroom
  • Help young people overcome barriers to learning
  • Encourage positive behaviour and emotional development
  • Assist teachers in delivering engaging lessons
  • Provide one-to-one and small group support
  • Contribute to a safe, supportive, and nurturing learning environment

What We're Looking For

  • At least 6 months experience working with young people
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Resilience, patience, and a positive attitude
  • A genuine passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential
  • Ability to remain calm in challenging situations
  • Commitment to safeguarding and promoting student wellbeing

What You'll Gain

  • The opportunity to make a lasting impact on young people's lives
  • Opportunity for permanent employment
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Valuable experience within education and special educational needs settings
  • Supportive school environments and experienced teams

If you're a youth worker ready to take your skills into education and help transform the lives of young people who need positive role models, we'd love to hear from you.
