๐ฃ WEโRE RECRUITING FOR THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR!
๐ค1:1 Alternative Provision Support Workers
๐ท ยฃ15.45 per hour
๐ Buckfastleigh & community-based
Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of children and young people?
Inspire is growing, and weโre looking for caring, reliable and enthusiastic people to join our team.
๐คWhat does the role involve?
Youโll work 1:1 with children and young people who may find it difficult to access traditional education, providing personalised support focused on their social and emotional wellbeing, confidence, engagement and individual goals.
Our provision is delivered from our centre in Buckfastleigh and out in the community. Sessions might involve practical and creative learning, outdoor activities, developing life and social skills, accessing the local community or simply providing a safe and consistent relationship from which a young person can begin to move forward.
A key part of our work is helping young people re-engage with education and, where appropriate, supporting their reintegration back into school.
No two young people are the same โ and no two days at Inspire are either!
๐ฑ Weโre looking for people who are:
โจ Patient, positive and compassionate
โจ Confident building professional relationships with young people
โจ Reliable and able to work independently
โจ Creative and able to adapt when things donโt go to plan
โจ Passionate about helping young people learn, grow and achieve
Experience within education, SEND, youth work, care or alternative provision is desirable, but we also value life experience, the right attitude and the ability to genuinely connect with young people.
๐ IMPORTANT: Due to the community-based nature of our work, you must have a full driving licence, access to your own vehicle and appropriate business-use insurance.
๐ก๏ธ Safeguarding
Inspire is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Successful applicants will be subject to appropriate safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
๐ฉ Think you could be the person who makes a difference?
Weโd love to hear from you.
