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:

  • Proven Track Record: At least 6 months of recent experience specifically within an SEMH, Alternative Provision, or PRU setting
  • Advanced De-escalation: Up-to-date training in physical intervention (Team Teach, MAPA, etc.) is highly desirable
  • The "Right" Temperament: You must possess high levels of emotional intelligence, resilience, and a "thick skin," paired with a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable youth
  • Reliability: With an 8 AM start, punctuality is non-negotiable
  • ability to track progression in attainment
  • background in youth work
  • behaviour management
  • building relationships
  • classroom management
  • communication
  • de-escalation techniques
  • empathy
  • experience in administering medication
  • experience in managing challenging behaviour
  • experience with autism spectrum disorders
  • experience with learning difficulties
  • experience with social emotional mental health
  • inclusiveness
  • manual handling
  • marking
  • mentor experience
  • personal care experience
  • planning
  • resilience
  • restraint training
  • speech and language therapy experience

Nice to have:

  • speech and language therapy experience
  • experience in administering medication
What we offer:
  • training and education
  • Safeguarding & Prevent
  • 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
  • PAYE
  • Referral Bonus
