We are seeking a passionate, resilient, and deeply empathetic Learning Mentor in the Plymouth area to support incredible young people who need a tailored approach to education.

This is a highly rewarding role within a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) environment, perfect for someone who wants to make a tangible, life-changing impact every single day.
