The Role

Are you a dedicated Youth Worker looking to bring your expertise into the heart of a secondary school? We are seeking a dynamic and resilient Youth Worker to join our Blackpool-based secondary school team for the 2026/27 academic year.

Moving beyond the community centre, you will work directly within the school environment to bridge the gap between academic education and personal development. You will be a relatable role model, supporting students aged 11-16 to overcome barriers to learning, raise their aspirations, and manage their social and emotional well-being.

Key Responsibilities

Mentorship & Intervention: Deliver 1:1 and small group mentoring sessions for students identified as vulnerable or at risk of exclusion.

Classroom Support: Bring youth-work energy into the classroom to assist with behaviour management and student engagement.

Program Delivery: Plan and facilitate workshops on topics such as healthy relationships, social skills, and emotional resilience.

Pastoral Collaboration: Work closely with the school's Pastoral Leads and SENCo to ensure holistic support for every student.

What We're Looking For

Experience: Significant experience working with teenagers (aged 11-16) in youth clubs, alternative provision, or sports coaching.

Resilience: A "Blackpool-strong" attitude you must be able to remain calm, firm, and empathetic in high-pressure situations.

Communication: Exceptional active listening and counselling-style skills to build rapport with complex or disengaged students.

Qualifications: Level 2 or 3 in Youth Work Practice (JNC recognised) or a related field (e.g., Social Work, Careers Guidance) is highly desirable.

Commitment: Available to commit to the full academic year from September 2026 to July 2027.

Why Choose This Role?

Predictable Schedule: Term-time only hours (08:30 - 15:00), allowing you to enjoy all school holidays.

Professional Growth: Gain invaluable experience for those considering future careers in teaching, social work, or educational psychology.

Community Impact: Directly influence the life chances of young people in the Blackpool community.
