Job Description

Youth workers - are you interested in school work?

Are you currently working in a local community supporting young people but wanting to expand and get a foot in working with students in school as a teaching assistant?

If so, Zen Educate are interested in speaking with you. We are interested in taking on any youth workers that have worked closely with youth in a local community, supporting them on their social and emotional developmnent and want to make a broader impact and include their education. You will be excellent at building meaningful relationships with children of various ages.

Boundaries and expectations are important, so we are looking for someone that knows where the line is and understands that you are there to support in a professional capacity, but see students potential to excel if you they have self belief and can apply themselves.

School work is 8:30 - 3:30, Monday to Friday and term time only.

The ideal person will see reward in supporting vulnerable students in either a 1:1 function or in a group basis and be able to communicate well with other members of staff about progress and what learning objectives are given to you to work with the students.

Zen can offer training to better prepare for working in a school and the support you need to move into the sector. We also offer competitive rates.

So if you are wanting to do more with young people outside of your youth work, get in touch and see what is on offer with us.

To work with children, an enhanced DBS on the update is required
