Behaviour Mentor

Are you enthusiastic about supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people? Affinity Workforce Solutions are working with an outstanding special school called The Skills Hub and the Pride Academy which aims to provide innovative education and a challenging environment for pupils aged 5 to 19. The school specialises in educating pupils with a wide range of Social, Emotional and mental health needs. The Skills Hub is a co-educational Alternative provision for pupils in the London Borough of Hillingdon who cannot attend mainstream school for a variety of reasons. It holds pupils, many of whom have been, or at risk of, permanent exclusion. In recent years there is a massive focus on supporting the mental health and SEN needs of pupils in mainstream and SEN schools. Affinity Workforce Solutions are currently seeking practitioners to support these pupils on a 1:1 or general classroom basis to start ASAP, for the rest of the Academic Year in a range of schools across West Drayton (with an option of progressing onto contract with the right school). As a Youth Mental health Support Worker, you will be involved in not only supporting pupils within the classroom but will also be comfortable with running activities with the pupil/s outside the classroom as well. Alongside the class teacher, you will also provide support with ensuring the right support is in place for the students.
