We are seeking a Youth Worker to support the social development and educational outcomes of our students, particularly those who are at risk of becoming disengaged with society and education.

You will deliver youth work based projects and programmes, and will be supported in establishing stimulating and challenging new initiatives, in partnership with young people. You will work in group settings; in one-to-one settings with identified individuals, and with parents and other relevant stakeholders and organisations.

You will have the ability to quickly establish positive and credible relationships with diverse groups of young people, to respond flexibly to their needs and to the priorities of the school. You will act as an advocate of young people and their interests, within the school’s overarching pastoral and educational provision.

The successful candidate will gain invaluable school experience and be well placed to move onto a teacher training programme via our teacher training programme, if desired.

In return we can offer you:

•  The opportunity to play a pivotal part in the pastoral provision of an organisation that fundamentally enhances the life chances of local children
• A financially secure school and Trust, with the money to underpin its work
• A brand new, multi-million pound professional working environment
• The opportunity to work with professional, committed and ambitious colleagues in a genuinely collaborative working environment
• A highly aspirant school, with engaged students
