Job description

Are you enthusiastic about supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people?

Do you have experience supporting individuals that have various Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

In recent years, there has been a massive focus on supporting the mental health and SEN needs of pupils in mainstream and SEN schools. We are currently seeking practitioners to support these pupils on a 1:1 or general classroom basis to start ASAP, for the rest of the Academic Year in a range of schools across Peterborough (with an option of progressing onto contract with the right school).

As a Youth Mental Health Support Worker, you will be involved in not only supporting pupils within the classroom but will also be comfortable with running activities with the pupil/s outside the classroom as well. Alongside the class teacher, you will also provide support with ensuring the right support is in place for the students.

This position is on a full-time basis and full support and guidance will be given. There will also be opportunities to complete additional training whilst in the role. Pay is £90-£112 per day, based on experience.

This would be a great opportunity for someone that has experience supporting pupils in school or an alternative setting, but we will also be considering people without this experience.
