Mental Health Youth Worker - Oxford
Are you looking to make a difference in the lives of children and young people? Do you have a passion for mental health?
Then this might be the role for you!
The Role:
The successful Mental Health Youth Worker will assist and support students who struggle with their emotions and social behaviour. These students come from backgrounds where they have been exposed to adverse childhood experiences and have trauma, anxiety, and depression. They struggle especially with regulating and processing their emotions and managing their behaviour, which creates challenges for them in school.
The School:
This school looks after students between the ages of 3 and 11, with identified social, emotional, and mental health needs. They are an outstanding school that prioritises the education and mental well-being of their students. They offer engaging classes and have an amazing supportive environment.
Day to Day:
The successful Mental Health Youth Worker will help the students in their daily tasks. You will be supported by the class teacher but will also assist with general class duties. This will include helping set up for lessons, clearing up afterwards, and managing classroom behaviour. This will be done on a 1:1 basis or in a small group setting. You will be making a significant difference in these children's lives.
The Candidate:
The successful Mental Health Youth Worker will be proactive and patient. You should be adaptable and thrive in fast-paced environments. Determination, confidence, and a passion for education and helping vulnerable children are essential.
Previous experience working with children that present with challenging behaviour is ideal. However, attitude and personality are equally important, as you will be a role model for these children.
Aspiring psychologists, therapists, and counsellors will benefit greatly from a role like this, as it will add valuable experience to your skillset. Graduates and those with a background in sports, art, or drama are also encouraged to apply.
