Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a Youth Support Worker to the Inclusion team at Coombe Dean School in Plymouth, part of the Westcountry Schools Trust,
In addition to having a keen interest in supporting young people and families in our school community to navigate challenges that may arise, you will have a professional qualification in a relevant area such as youth work and have experience of planning and delivering evidence-based interventions to young people with a variety of additional needs.
The role will see you join the Inclusion team, intervening early when young people begin to experience difficulties which may prevent them from accessing the full benefits of education and experiencing success in school. You will work closely with school staff and external agencies to plan and deliver interventions such as anger/anxiety management and solution-focused approaches and will offer outreach to young people.
Working in a school, no two days are the same; you will need to be flexible, resilient, and self-motivated.
As there may be times that you need to visit families, you will hold a driving licence with the use of a car.
The role is temporary in the first instance for one year (September 2022-August 2023).
Coombe Dean School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Therefore, the successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

About Coombe Dean School
As a school, we have much to be proud of. We work hard at fostering positive relationships with pupils and families alike and this supports a safe and calm learning environment for our pupils. We value the consistency and transparency of a very simple behaviour system that is built around mutual respect and learning how to get things right rather than being told what you have done wrong. The strong pastoral provision supports our pupils throughout their education journey, starting from transition from primary school and through to employment, further education and training.
