Are you looking for a role where you can protect and inspire vulnerable young people while building a career in Youth Justice, Social Care or County Lines Prevention? This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference. I’m Farhad, and I am personally recruiting for this role in Slough.

This is not a standard classroom support position. You will be working with primary and secondary aged pupils (5–16) who need a mentor, role model and trusted adult to guide them through difficult circumstances.

Many of these young people face challenges linked to:

• County Lines exploitation
• Gang involvement
• Social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs such as ADHD, trauma and anxiety

Your role will be vital in helping them regulate emotions, build resilience and make positive life choices.

• Build meaningful and trusting relationships with pupils
• Use restorative approaches to encourage safe decision-making
• Provide targeted support in small class groups (4–12 pupils)
• Play a key role in protecting young people from criminal exploitation

• Graduates in Criminology, Psychology, Youth Work or similar subjects (or those with relevant experience)
• A strong commitment to safeguarding and supporting vulnerable young people
• Empathy, patience and resilience when managing challenging behaviour
• Previous experience with at‑risk youth is desirable, but full training will be provided

• Specialist training in County Lines prevention, trauma‑informed care and restorative practices
• Career‑building experience for roles in Youth Justice, Social Work or Advocacy
• Support and guidance from a dedicated school environment
• The opportunity to make a real difference in young lives every day
• Benefits to YOU:
• Excellent rates of pay!
• Speedy registration process & fast track compliance.
• Flexible days and working hours to suit your schedule.
• 5‑Star rated with over 3000 reviews across Google & Facebook!
• Exclusive school & trust partnerships.
• Access to our FREE Perks Portal, where you’ll find exclusive access to a range of discounts – our very own version of the Blue Light Card
• Follow your progress pathway with access to 1000+ accredited, discounted CPD courses through Milk Academy!
• FREE PSHE lesson plans and resources, designed by real teachers.
• FREE Educator Wellbeing eBook and access to our wellbeing hub, featuring CPD courses and health & fitness modules!
• School Preparation Pack – be ready for your school placements!
• 24/7 support from your personal consultant, directly through their work mobile phone.
• Our Unbottled division brings lived‑experience speakers into schools, covering stigmatised topics such as mental health, discrimination, and exploitation. We’re located across England & North Wales with a network of 9 offices!
