PK Education are currently recruiting Youth Workers to support secondary schools across South Yorkshire. This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about supporting young people and helping them succeed both academically and personally within the school environment.
As a Youth Worker in a secondary school setting, you will be working closely with students who may require additional support to remain engaged in education. Some pupils may have additional learning needs, behavioural challenges, or simply benefit from having a positive role model within the school. Your role will focus on building strong relationships with students, offering encouragement, and helping them develop confidence, resilience, and positive behaviours.
The Role
You will support students both in and out of the classroom, providing 1:1 and small group support to help them remain engaged with their learning. The role involves mentoring students, supporting behaviour management strategies, and helping young people develop positive routines and social skills. You will work alongside teachers, pastoral teams, and SEND staff to ensure students feel supported throughout the school day and are able to access their education successfully.
Requirements
We are looking for individuals who have experience working with young people or transferable skills from roles such as youth work, sports coaching, care work, mentoring, or community support. Strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to build positive relationships with young people are essential. Candidates must hold an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or be willing to obtain one, be aged 18 or over, and be able to provide professional references covering recent employment.
Why Work with PK Education
PK Education offer competitive daily pay and weekly PAYE payments, along with the support of a dedicated recruitment consultant who will help match you with schools that suit your experience. You will also have access to training and CPD opportunities to help you develop your skills within education. There are opportunities for both long-term placements and permanent roles within supportive schools across South Yorkshire.
