Job Description:

We are seeking a robust, empathetic, and highly skilled Behaviour Mentor to join our team. This is a role for an expert-someone who can walk into a high-pressure environment and provide a calming, grounded presence for students with complex Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. You will be more than a mentor; you will be a specialist who understands trauma-informed practice and can implement bespoke behavioural interventions that keep students engaged and safe.

Job Responsibility:

  • Crisis Intervention: Confidently manage and de-escalate challenging behaviours using approved physical and verbal techniques
  • Strategic Mentoring: Work 1:1 or in small groups with students to identify triggers and develop personalised 'toolkits' for emotional regulation
  • Liaison: Act as a vital link between the student, teaching staff, and external multi-agency teams
  • Progress Tracking: Maintain detailed records of behavioural incidents and positive milestones to inform Annual Reviews and EHCPs

Requirements:

  • At least 6 months of recent experience specifically within an SEMH, Alternative Provision, or PRU setting
  • Up-to-date training in physical intervention (Team Teach, MAPA, etc.) is highly desirable
  • High levels of emotional intelligence, resilience, and a 'thick skin'
  • Genuine passion for supporting vulnerable youth
  • Punctuality is non-negotiable to ensure a settled start for our students
What we offer:
  • Fixed Hours: A consistent 08:00 - 16:00 schedule, allowing for a better work-life balance than many residential or care-based roles
  • Team Support: Work alongside a multidisciplinary team of therapists, SENCOs, and experienced support staff
  • Impact: The opportunity to see the direct results of your work as students move from crisis to stability
  • Referral Bonus
  • Training and education
  • Safeguarding & Prevent
