Pay: £13.75 per hour
Contract: Temporary with potential to go permanent
Start Date: 5th January 2025

We are seeking a dedicated and resilient Youth Support Officer to work with young people with Autism. These pupils come from a range of backgrounds and may be cautious when forming new relationships, so your ability to build trust, mentor effectively, and communicate with sensitivity will be essential.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference while developing valuable experience for a future career in education or youth work.

We welcome applicants with experience in areas such as sports, care, youth work, or any background involving support for young people. Training will be provided, and CPD opportunities are available through our CPD Academy.

Applicants will need (or be willing to obtain during registration):

• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service

• Education Workforce Council (EWC) registration

• Safeguarding Level 2 (Children & Vulnerable People)

• Two references covering a 24-month period (or equivalent)

2. Shortlisting within 48 working hours

3. Telephone call to discuss the role in more detail

4. Interview invitation if you wish to proceed

5. Pre-employment checks completed by our team ahead of your start date
