Are you passionate about supporting young people and helping them overcome barriers to learning? A rewarding opportunity has become available for a Youth Worker to join an educational setting based in Stroud, supporting children and young people with additional needs

This Youth Worker role offers the chance to work in a highly supportive school located in the Stroud area. It is well-regarded for its nurturing approach and strong emphasis on building positive relationships with students.

Many of the young people you will support may experience social, emotional, and mental health challenges alongside learning difficulties. Some students may have autism, communication needs, or additional diagnoses that impact their ability to access mainstream education. Working as a Youth Worker, you will help create a safe and structured environment where students feel understood and supported.

• Help young people who may struggle with emotional regulation, behaviour, or social interaction
• Provide consistent mentoring and positive role modelling throughout the school day
• Work alongside teachers and SEN professionals to implement tailored support strategies
• Encourage independence, confidence, and engagement with learning
• Help maintain a calm, structured, and inclusive classroom environment
• Adapt your approach depending on individual needs

• Empathetic, resilient, and proactive
• Passionate about Autism, SEN, and child development
• A strong communicator and relationship-builder
• From a background in Psychology, Education, Counselling, Care, or similar (desirable)
• Experienced in SEN, ASD, care, or mental health settings (beneficial but not essential)

Previous experience working with children, youth work, care, or support roles is beneficial but not essential for this Stroud-based opportunity.

Becoming a role offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable SEN experience while making a real difference in the lives of young people who need additional support.
