Job Title: Schools Youth Specialist

Location: Guildford / Walton on Thames

Hours: 22.5 to 37.5 hours per week

Are you an enthusiastic and talented Schools Youth Specialist who is passionate about supporting vulnerable young people and helping them to overcome issues before they become potentially life-changing problems?

As a Schools Youth Specialist, you will mostly be:

Proactively addressing student’s/young people’s needs before issues arise

• Delivering high quality, one to one mentoring and group work, designing group sessions and relevant lunch clubs
• Supporting the Youth Development Board
• Managing the referral system and caseloads in partnership with school
• Keeping accurate records and case notes on SIT
• Liaising with key stakeholders and relevant agencies
• Liaising with parents and guardians where appropriate

As this is an opportunity to work with young people, you must have a relevant qualification in the form of a degree in social work, teaching, psychology or youth work, together with evidence of continuous training and personal development. This position involves travel to various schools across the Surrey area and therefore your own transport is essential, in addition to the flexibility to work occasional evening and/or weekends.
