  • 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.
