Providing 1-2-1 support with an identified group of learners in terms of their attendance and punctuality, you will support young people to make positive changes in theirlives and help them to develop action plans in order for them to build resilience, develop new skills and achieve their learning potential.


So, if you have experience of working with and positively engaging young people 14-19 years of age from a variety of backgrounds and understand the needs and issues surrounding them and the difficulties students face, then we want to hear from you.


You'll hold a Level 2 qualification in a related field such as Childcare, Health and Social Care, Youth Work or IAG and have the ability to listen and communicate with young people in an individual or group setting.

The ability to use initiative, organiseand prioritise is a must, as is a working knowledge and ability to deliver topics around personal development, behaviour and attitudes.
