Prospero Teaching - SEMH School Youth Worker/TA Role
Prospero Teaching is working with a Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) school in Blackley. The school caters to students with additional needs and mental health issues.
The role is available to start as soon as possible, with the intention to remain for the academic year and potentially continue into September 2024.
The school provides education for pupils with an educational plan in a specialist setting due to their learning needs. It accepts pupils for whom mainstream education is unsuitable.
The pupils are aged 11-16 (KS3/4) with EHCP plans and additional needs, often having experienced trauma, neglect, or chaotic home lives.
Your role involves building connections with young people, acting as a mentor and role model. Due to barriers in the classroom, strong relationship-building skills are essential.
You will employ mentoring skills—similar to those used in sports, drama, or counselling—to engage students and support them both in and out of the classroom, including vocational activities.
This position is open to experienced mentors and those with a strong background in mentoring children and young adults. Depending on performance, there may be opportunities to extend the contract or offer a permanent position.
