Ready to kick off 2026 with a role that truly matters?
As a Youth Support Officer, you'll be working with young people in secondary schools across the Torfaen area, helping them thrive both academically and personally.

You will be able to provide 1:1 and small group support to pupils with a range of ALN and behavioural challenges. You will work closely with students offering consistent emotional and academic support throughout the school day.
This opportunity is very exciting as it will not only give you the opportunity to work with these incredible young people but will also enhance your knowledge and understanding for your future in Education as a whole.
