The Youth Mental Health Worker will be supporting children who often feel confused, have low self-esteem, and are disengaged from schooling. Your role is to give them an education that is tailored to their individual needs, enabling and empowering them to understand that ‘great minds think differently’, gain confidence in themselves, and progress their learning.
This is a progressive, compassionate, values-based school with a strong ethos and a highly skilled team who are passionate about what they do. Your priority as a Youth Mental Health Worker will be the children’s social, emotional, and mental health development.
The ideal candidate will have a degree in a related field or experience working with young people. Many of the children have experienced trauma and require someone with resilience and an open mind to support their mental health challenges.
