Youth Support Coach
£15.50–£16.29 per hour | Monday to Friday | Full-time | CPD-accredited training provided
Do you build trust quickly — and know how to stay calm when things get tough?
Are you motivated by helping young people feel seen, heard, and supported?
Aspira Education is recruiting Youth Support Coaches to work in Derbyshire schools, supporting pupils with SEMH, challenging behaviour, and additional needs.
This is a rewarding role for individuals from youth work, care, probation, coaching, or mentoringbackgrounds — especially those who've supported vulnerable or excluded young people.
About the Role
As a Youth Support Coach, you'll:
* Build strong, consistent relationships with pupils who struggle to engage
* Support 1:1 and in small groups, using calm communication and emotional regulation strategies
* Model routines, boundaries, and resilience in challenging situations
* Work alongside teaching staff and SENCOs to maintain a safe, structured environment
* Help pupils stay focused, feel valued, and re-engage with learning
You'll work full-time, Monday to Friday during term time, in a mainstream, SEMH, or alternative provision setting.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for people who:
* Have experience supporting young people with behavioural, emotional, or social needs
* Stay calm under pressure and know how to defuse conflict
* Are reliable, consistent, and able to build trust with pupils who've had a tough start
If you've worked in youth services, sports, mentoring, or outreach, your experience is incredibly valuable — and we'll help you apply it to a school setting.
All applicants must have:
* The right to work in the UK
* A clear Enhanced DBS (or be willing to apply)
* Two recent references
* A willingness to complete free online safeguarding training
What You'll Get
* £15.50–£16.29 per hour (paid weekly via Parasol – our FCSA-accredited umbrella partner)
* Free CPD-accredited training from the Aspira Training Academy
* Tools and techniques for behaviour management and trauma-informed practice
* Ongoing support from a team who values your resilience and emotional intelligence
