Youth Support Worker, Primary School based. Job in Wythenshawe Education & Training Jobs

Job description

Aspire People is partnering with a large Primary School in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. The Senior Leadership Team is looking for a Youth Support Worker to work as a SEND Teaching Assistant with a number of identified pupils across Key Stage 2.

The school is a large multi‐form entry Primary School with a diverse pupil intake. It is well‐resourced to support pupils with SEND, including a provision on site for pupils with Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The ideal candidate will be working with identified pupils with SEMH needs and other complex needs across Key Stage 2. Pupils may exhibit behaviours that challenge, so potential candidates need to be confident supporting those with SEMH needs, be resilient in their approach and committed and passionate about understanding the 'bigger picture'. This role involves working with pupils on a timetable basis, delivering 1:1 interventions to support their engagement with core subjects.

You will have experience in youth work, sports coaching or hold a degree in Psychology, Criminology or Youth Studies. Training will be provided by the school on specific interventions, but a passion and commitment for supporting vulnerable pupils to help them reach their true potential is essential.

This is a full‐time role, 08:20 to 15:30 Monday to Friday during term time only, on an ongoing basis until the end of the academic year, with the opportunity for permanent employment in the new academic year.
