Have a genuine passion for supporting young people to succeed.
Ideally have experience working with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) students.
Have a sport, outdoor education, coaching or similar background.
Be confident, patient, resilient and able to engage students who may find mainstream education challenging.
Be available Monday to Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm.

Have achieved Grade C or above in English and Maths (or equivalent).
Be a positive role model with excellent communication skills.

What the role involves

As a Student Support Worker, you will work closely with students to help them engage with education, develop confidence and achieve their potential. This may include providing one-to-one or small-group support, helping students manage challenges, encouraging positive behaviour and taking part in practical, sporting and outdoor activities.

Experience working with SEND, SEMH or students who have struggled within mainstream education would be highly desirable.

If you are energetic, enthusiastic and passionate about making a difference to young people's lives, we would love to hear from you
