The Liverpool SAFE Project is a Department for Education funded programme aiming to reduce youth violence through re-engagement with education.

In the Liverpool area the project is managed by All Saints Multi Academy Trust.

One of the interventions of the project in Liverpool is the training and implementation of Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSAs) across several primary and secondary schools -12 secondary and 12 primaries across the area.

Once trained, ELSAs work with pupils individually, or in small groups if appropriate, in order to develop their emotional literacy skills.

ELSAs are trained to support pupils in the following ways:

managing emotions including anger and anxiety; social and friendship skills; loss, bereavement and family break up; active listening and reflective conversation skills.

The role of ELSAs is to guide 'helping conversations', where they help young people to explore possible strategies and solutions for themselves.

Pre-intervention tools are used to identify individual needs and set aims. Using activities and/or games, the pupil is supported to develop new skills and coping strategies.

We are looking for several ELSA Supervisors to oversee and monitor the training, implementation and impact of the work of the ELSAs in several schools in relation to the intended outcomes of the intervention.

Applicants must hold the ELSA qualification, have experience of leading a team, experience of working with young people and designing and delivering relevant support.
