Secondary School
Youth Worker
Location: Hulme
Prospero Teaching is working with a Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) school in Hulme, which caters to students with additional needs and mental health issues.
The role is starting as soon as possible, with a view to stay in the position for the academic year. The school supports pupils who have an educational plan to receive their education in a specialist provision due to their learning needs.
The school takes pupils who have been identified as not suited for mainstream education. The pupils are aged 11-16 years old (KS3/4) and all have EHCP plans and additional needs. Many of these pupils have experienced some form of trauma, neglect, or a chaotic home life.
Your role is to build a connection with the young people and act as a mentor and role model. Due to the barriers the pupils face in the classroom, the role will entail forging strong relationships with them. You will utilize various mentoring skills (similar to those used in sports, drama, and counseling) to help individuals engage with the school environment.
You will support the pupils both in and out of the classroom, focusing on vocational engagement.
