Are you motivated by supporting and helping vulnerable and at risk young people? This Pastoral and Learning Support Assistant role in Lancing is an amazing opportunity if you are an Aspiring Gang Prevention Youth Worker. You will have the chance to have a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable and at risk children and young people, increasing their engagement, attainment and life chances.
In this Alternative Provision College in Lancing, you will be providing a vital service within the community, working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with special educational needs (SEN), and a range of associated social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges and traumas. Some children and young people will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary.
A common feature for many children and young people with SEMH needs are marginalisation and disadvantage, trauma, dysfunctional family relationships, low educational attainment and stigmatisation. Subsequently they face many barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people.
