Everything else rests on that relationship. If building it is what you do well, London's SEMH and AP settings need you.

A typical week could include

• One to one mentoring focused on removing barriers to learning and engagement
• Building confidence, resilience, and self-belief in disengaged pupils
• Emotional wellbeing guidance and positive behaviour support
• Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and multidisciplinary teams

What you'll need

• Relevant experience building relationships with disengaged young people
• Enhanced DBS with children's barred list
• Two phone-verified professional references
• Right to work in the UK

Even better if you have

• SEMH and AP settings experience
• Trauma-informed and restorative practice
• Youth work or community backgrounds

If you believe that one consistent adult can change the trajectory of a young person's life, we would love to hear from you.
