An exciting opportunity has become available within Herefordshire's Virtual School to become a STEPS Assistant.
Research has shown that education outcomes for care experienced children and young people are better if they have someone to support them to overcome any obstacles they may face. These barriers maybe academic, social or emotional. Most of the time, they will get support through their school and carers to do this. However, sometimes, they may need or want to work with someone who is separate from home or school. A STEPS Assistant will support children and young people to overcome barriers to education by providing small group and individual opportunities for young people to work towards mutually agreed outcomes.
You will also provide valuable support to our STEPS Worker in the running of our weekly youth club for care experienced children and young people.
We welcome applicants whatever their personal characteristics or social identity. All requests for flexible working arrangements and reasonable adjustments will be considered. All disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria of the job are guaranteed an interview.
