In recent years there is a massive focus on supporting the mental health and SEN needs of pupils in mainstream and SEN schools. Affinity Workforce Solutions are currently seeking practitioners to support these pupils on a 1:1 or general classroom basis to start ASAP, for the rest of the Academic Year in a range of schools across West Drayton (with an option of progressing onto contract with the right school). As a Youth Mental health Support Worker, you will be involved in not only supporting pupils within the classroom but will also be comfortable with running activities with the pupil/s outside the classroom as well. Alongside the class teacher, you will also provide support with ensuring the right support is in place for the students.

The client that I am working with are keen to ‘work together to transform lives and across the whole organisation we have a range experts and practitioner who advocate for children and young people with SEND to ensure they receive the best possible opportunities to achieve their full potential’.

This position is on a full-time basis and full support, and guidance will be given. There will also be opportunities to complete additional training whilst in the role. Pay is £92-£124 per day, based on experience.

This would be a great opportunity for someone that has experience supporting pupils in school or an alternative setting, but we will also be considering people without this experience.
