A well-established school in North Yorkshire that caters for children and young people aged 9-16 is looking for a Young Offenders Support Worker to join their growing team.

The children at this school all have SEMH along with mild to severe challenging behaviour, so the school is looking for a Young Offenders Support Worker who is able to build a strong rapport with their pupils and act as a positive role model.

The school can offer a full-time placement, Monday to Friday to start as soon as possible with the possibility of securing a permanent role.

• To support the class teacher with the day-to-day running of their lessons.
