Youth Worker and SEND Lead

Feb 2021 - Present
As a Youth Worker and SEND lead, I plan, organise and run the Newham Council Youth Centre facility. I liaise with companies, schools and organisations in and around the community to source opportunities and activities for the young people. I build links between schools, families, social workers, CAMHS and local authority care to support the most vulnerable young people, who are facing issues such as CSE and gang violence. I seek to further the outcomes for the young people and broaden their horizons. I also supervise and mentor new starters in the Youth Work field. Show less

I worked one to one with pupils to develop understanding of a pupil’s interest, strength and abilities to form strong, functional relationships. I also worked on a flexible study timetable with the pupil, based in the home or care environment, community setting or therapeutic Hub, and was an expert at identifying and managing risks in the school setting.
