Youth Worker - Bolton

We are currently recruiting for an alternative education academy which provides a learning environment for children, who for a number of reasons have been referred outside of mainstream school.
Students at this academy have needs identified within the Education Health Care Plan relating to social, emotional and mental health issues, which can include anxiety, depression and self harm.
The academy are looking to recruit a resilient candidate who will be able to support the students on an ongoing basis with their emotional needs, as well as help deliver a specially structured curriculum. Candidates will need to have a passionate and caring personality and be adaptable to changes in behaviour.
Ideally, candidates should have some form of de-escalation/restraint training (Team-teach - can be provided by Teaching Personnel), an understanding of crisis-prevention techniques, experience working with vulnerable young people or people with mental health issues.
All relevant experience will be considered.
Candidates should expect to also be required to deliver 1:1 education, classroom support and general mentoring.

Candidates interested in the role should forward their CV to the given address for their application to be considered. All successful applicants will receive a call from a consultant explaining the following process.
