The School

We are looking for a dedicated Graduate Aspiring Youth Justice Worker to work in this small, specialist school near Guildford. All students have social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, and associated challenging behaviours. The school has a deep focus on addressing the educational, social and therapeutic needs of students, focusing on individual happiness and well-being where students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

The role will give you hands-on experience working with vulnerable children in Guildford; 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.

Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more ‘at risk’ of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
