Penk Valley Academy Trust,

At Wolgarston High School, we believe every student deserves the chance to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. That’s why we’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Learning Mentor to join us this September. This is a temporary role, linked to funding, and it offers a fantastic opportunity for someone who truly wants to make a difference.

Whether you’re an experienced Learning Support or Teaching Assistant, a recent graduate thinking about a career in education, or someone who has worked with young people with special educational needs such as autism, attachment difficulties, or dyslexia—we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you’ll work closely with students who need a little extra support to reach their potential. You’ll spend time with them in the classroom, in small group sessions, and one-to-one, helping them build confidence and develop key skills in literacy and numeracy. You’ll also play a vital role in supporting their emotional wellbeing and helping them navigate any challenges they face.

We’re looking for someone who is approachable, empathetic, and resilient—someone who can build strong relationships with students, families, and colleagues. You’ll need to be organised, a good communicator, and ready to work as part of a team that’s committed to inclusion and student success.

At Wolgarston, you’ll be part of a warm, supportive community that values every member of staff. We’ll provide you with the training and development you need to grow in your role, and you’ll have the chance to make a real impact every single day.

If you’re ready to help shape brighter futures, we’d love to hear from you.

We welcome informal visits to the school from prospective candidates. To arrange a visit or call please contact Ranjit Heer (Office Manager) on [e-mail]

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and responsibility. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

All staff working in the School during the school day will have contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
