The Role

As a Behaviour Mentor, you will:

• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils with SEMH needs.
• Support students in managing their behaviour and emotional regulation.
• Deliver 1:1 and small group interventions to improve engagement and confidence.
• Encourage positive choices and resilience both inside and outside the classroom.
• Work closely with teachers and pastoral teams to implement behaviour support strategies.
• Promote a safe, structured and inclusive learning environment where pupils can thrive.

The Ideal Candidate

• Has experience working with young people with SEMH, challenging behaviour or additional needs.
• Has a calm, patient and resilient approach.
• Can confidently build professional relationships with pupils who may struggle to trust adults.
• Is passionate about supporting vulnerable young people to reach their potential.
• Has experience in education, youth work, residential care, coaching, mentoring, support work or similar roles (desirable but not essential).

Why Join This School?
