Job description

Responsibilities

Daytime Healthcare are assisting a leading organisation for Children and Young People, who are looking for a Specialist Senior Learning Mentor to join their team in their brand new Childrens Home in Croydon, London. This is a part time position, and is 20 hours per week. In this role, you will deliver both group and one-to-one sessions, including tailored Maths and English tuition based on individual needs. You will work collaboratively with the wider team to ensure each young person has appropriate access to educational opportunities and engagement. Sessions can take place anywhere: from the beach to the kitchen, the garden, or even the gym. As with all our teams and services, the unexpected is part of everyday life-though with us, it can take many forms. A young person might be excluded from school, be in the middle of transitioning to a new placement, or arrive (or not) due to an emergency referral. Flexibility and adaptability are essential.

Qualifications

• Evidence of degree ( BA, BSc in a related field, such as Linguistics, Psychology or Education ) or PGCE.
• Experience in identifying and assessing the needs of young people, setting clear goals and targets through collaborative discussions and the effective use of relevant data to inform assessments.
• Experience in supporting young people to achieve their learning goals, particularly those who are underachieving, disengaged, or facing social and emotional barriers to learning.
