We are looking for a determined, hard-working behaviour support mentor who can work at a successful, fast paced school. The school is well-resourced and has a fantastic atmosphere. The successful candidate needs to have previous experience in a mentoring role, one to one, group work and classroom support. Due to the additional needs of the pupils, you will need to have prior experience from placements or other roles where you have supported young people with SEN or emotional and behavioural needs. You will be required to liaise with parents and other services, and therefore will need to be an effective communicator. You will have recently completed a core undergraduate degree, with sound subject knowledge and strong literacy and numeracy skills to be able to fully support the pupil.

The job role consists of behaviour management, numeracy/literacy support, pastoral care, delivering a range of activities and liaising with families.

There will be other Behaviour Support Mentors in school, so you will have a cohort to share your experiences and ideas with.
