Work base: Within Conwy County
TRAC Conwy are looking for enthusiastic team members to work with young people aged 11-16 in a school setting. This project focusses on young people at risk of being NEET (Not in Education, Training or Employment).
You will work closely with learners who have been identified as needing additional support and intervention concerning their health, social, behavioural and emotional needs. This will include working with colleagues and partner agencies to inspire, support and encourage young people to reach their full potential and increase their chances of further education and employment post 16.
Based in a secondary school within Conwy, you will join an established team who together work in high schools across Conwy county. You may be required to work in other settings where the need arises.
With relevant professional qualifications and an in depth understanding of child safeguarding you will have direct experience of working with young people aged 11-16, the ability to work effectively with partner agencies and a commitment to excellence. We offer the opportunity for training and development within your role.
As Conwy has large rural areas, the ability to travel is essential.
