Youth Support Worker – Full-Time – Wembley
Do you have experience supporting children who need more than just a lesson plan?
We’re looking for a Youth Support Worker in Wembley to join a supportive specialist school that works with primary-aged children who have social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. These pupils need patience, structure, and a consistent adult who understands how to build trust, manage behaviour and offer guidance – not judgement.
You don’t need to have the job title Youth Support Worker already – but if you’ve worked with primary-aged children in a setting where behaviour, trauma, or emotional needs were at the forefront, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing as a Youth Support Worker:
-
Supporting pupils aged 5-11 with emotional regulation, challenging behaviour and trauma-related needs.
-
Helping students feel safe and supported so they can access learning, build resilience, and form positive relationships.
-
Working 1:1 or in small groups, providing tailored interventions throughout the school day.
-
De-escalating behaviour calmly and consistently using trauma-informed strategies.
-
Supporting classroom routines while offering the individualised attention some pupils need to thrive.
-
Being a reliable, compassionate adult figure for children who may not have many.
Who We’re Looking For:
This Youth Support Worker role in Wembley is ideal for someone who has:
-
Experience supporting primary-aged children in schools, care homes, or outreach/youth settings.
-
Worked with children or young people who present challenging behaviour, emotional distress, or have experienced trauma.
-
A calm, confident and empathetic approach, even in high-pressure situations.
-
Experience in any of the following roles: Behaviour Mentor, Youth Worker, Residential Support Worker, Pastoral Support, Youth Justice or Outreach Worker.
-
Full-time availability (Monday to Friday), term time only.
We’re not looking for a polished CV – we’re looking for someone who truly gets it when it comes to working with vulnerable children.
