Job overview
Working as a member of the Student Support Team, the Youth Engagement Worker will play a key role in engaging with students around the campus; ensuring that students are attending lessons, that social spaces, corridors and other communal areas in the College are safe and welcoming and that students maintain reasonable standards of behaviour. Providing 1-2-1 support with an identified group of learners in terms of their attendance and punctuality, you will support young people to make positive changes in their lives and help them to develop action plans in order for them to build resilience, develop new skills and achieve their learning potential.
