Location: Slough Salary: From £108 per day

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.

Why This Role?

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.

What You Will Do

• 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

What We Are Looking For

• 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

What You Will Gain

• 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
