Are you a Psychology or Criminology Graduate? Are you passionate about demonstrating the value of education to vulnerable children who have been exposed to traumas? Are you passionate about restorative approaches?
A fantastic mental health school in Chippenham is looking for a dedicated Graduate to join their team as a Pastoral Assistant. The school caters for students with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and is therefore looking for a Pastoral Assistant who is knowledgeable about Psychology or Criminology, and has a passion for helping young people make positive choices!
This Specialist School has a deep focus on addressing the educational, social, and therapeutic needs of each student, focusing on individual happiness and well-being where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The school is eager to find a Graduate with excellent interpersonal skills, resilience, empathy, and previous experience working with children.
You will be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) challenges and traumas. Some of the students will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. You will be instrumental in providing consistency and equipping the students with tools to ensure they feel safe, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
This Pastoral role will give you essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings - the perfect opportunity if you are thinking of a career in prison, rehabilitation, probation, or youth justice services. The role will give you hands-on experience working with vulnerable children; and through building strong, robust relationships, you will increase the engagement, attainment, and life chances of children, aiming to ensure they do not enter the criminal justice system.
