Do you have the passion and resilience to support children and young people facing emotional and behavioural challenges? Are you experienced in working with students with SEMH needs? Can you connect with, motivate, and positively influence young people?
The Role
We're looking for a dedicated Youth Worker in Schools to support children across South Staffordshire. This is a varied and rewarding role, blending the responsibilities of a classroom teaching assistant with those of a pastoral youth mentor.

You will be...
Experienced in working with young people with SEMH, autism, ADHD, or additional needs
Skilled at building trust and maintaining focus through strong communication and relational skills
Committed to promoting positivity, self-belief, and emotional wellbeing in the young people you support
We are... Academics
* A trusted and well-established education recruitment agency
* Offering competitive daily pay rates
* Providing expert guidance from a dedicated SEN Consultant
* Partnered with a wide range of schools - many exclusive to Academics
