Job description

Graduate Behaviour Mentor- Cheltenham
SEN Specialist School
ASAP Start- Cheltenham

Are you a recent university graduate passionate about mental health and behaviour?
Do you believe in the power of positive reinforcement and want to inspire young people with challenging behaviour? Are you considering a career in youth work, psychology, or a related field?

An Alternative Provision in Cheltenham is seeking a Graduate Behaviour Mentor to join their supportive team on a full-time basis, starting immediately and continuing long-term.

As a Graduate Behaviour Mentor, you will work with students aged 4 to 19 in a specialist setting. Your role will involve providing both 1:1 and small group support throughout the school day, helping students to engage positively in their learning and develop key life skills. Under the guidance of the class teacher, you'll assist in managing behaviour and promoting a safe, nurturing, and encouraging classroom environment.

You will act as a positive role model, helping students build confidence, resilience, and independence- skills that will support their success both in and beyond education.

This is a fantastic opportunity for graduates looking to gain practical experience in behaviour support and mental health. It's especially valuable for those considering future careers in psychology, youth work, or the criminal justice system, offering hands‑on experience with young people who display challenging behaviour. You'll also have opportunities to collaborate with teachers, therapists, and psychologists working on‑site.

To succeed in this role, you'll need resilience, patience, and a genuine passion for helping young people. While experience working with individuals with challenging behaviour is advantageous, it's not essential for the right candidate with the right attitude.
