The purpose of Return to Learn is clear: to bridge the gap between disengagement and successful reintegration into education. We provide a safe, consistent, and structured environment in which pupils can rebuild their confidence, develop strategies for managing challenges, and begin to see themselves once again as learners. Each pupil is paired with a dedicated keyworker, who provides consistency, builds trust, and helps them feel secure enough to re‑engage with learning. In collaboration with intervention from our dedicated Wellbeing team, the keyworker helps create the conditions in which the young person feels safe enough to reflect, try again, and to grow.
Required qualifications:
- Youth worker qualification (Desirable)
The role:
- Establish a safe and stimulating environment for pupils
- Create a timetable of activities that is bespoke to your individual pupil’s needs

- Demonstrate consistently the positive attitudes, values and behaviour which are expected of pupils - leading by example
- Ability to build positive rapport with disengaged pupils, working together to break down any barriers
- Input information to reports which track progress, measure achievement and identify individual strengths.
